Safety & Health
- Safety Information
- SURFONIC® N-series surfactants and related products have been shown to undergo 90% to 100% loss of surface activity (primary biodegradation) under the Semi-continuous Activated Sludge Method and over 90% removal in sewage treatment plants.
- Environmental concentrations of nonylphenol (NP) and ethoxylate (NPE) in a survey of rivers across the U.S. receiving treated or untreated wastewater are mostly (60-75%) below their detection limits (0.1 microgram/kg or ppb for NP, NPE1 and NPE2; 1.6 ppb for the aggregate of NPE3-17).
- Highest levels found of NP, NPE1 and NPE2 were about 1 ppb, (about 15 ppb for NPE3-17).
- These maximum observed levels are 1 to 2 orders of magnitude below known acute or chronic toxicity toward aquatic organisms.
- We conclude from this and other published information that our SURFONIC® N-series products and other NPE are satisfactorily biodegraded when treated in conventional secondary treatment plants, and no persistence or accumulation of NPE or environmental harm due to NPE is occurring.
- Comparison of the toxicity threshold of the most hazardous metabolite of nonylphenol ethoxylates, nonylphenol, and its actual concentration in the environment demonstrates a sizable safety margin.
- Cleaning products containing NPE may be disposed of safely by flushing down the drain with water.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
- SURFONIC N-95 surfactant may be satisfactorily stored in carbon steel tanks using steel pipes and pumps.
- Caution must be exercised, however, to keep the material in the anhydrous state to prevent severe corrosion to the carbon steel tank and related equipment.
- A drier on the breathing nozzle is recommended to help maintain anhydrous conditions in the storage tank.
- For longer term color stability, it is recommended that the product be stored under an inert atmosphere.
- Solid sediment may form upon standing.
- There should be circulation in the storage vessel to keep solids suspended.
- Low pressure steam coils in storage tanks and steam tracing of transfer lines should be provided in cases where low environmental temperatures may make pumping of the product difficult.
- The product should retain its conformance to sales specifications for a period of at least two years after shipment if the product is stored at less than 100°F in its undamaged, unopened, factory packaged container.
- In general, the user should determine the suitability of any chemical compound, no matter what the shelf life or length of time of storage.
- Each user should conduct a sufficient investigation to establish the suitability of any product for his intended use.
