Storage toxicity of polyether polyol

2021-07-09

The container for polyether polyol can be made of steel, aluminum, polyethylene or polypropylene. The storage temperature should not exceed 70°C. To prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, it is recommended that the container be filled with nitrogen. Polyether polyol products are generally packaged in clean, dry, sealed, and leak-free galvanized iron drums. Keep away from the sun, rain, and fire sources during storage. It is not restricted by flammable liquid storage rules, but should avoid entering groundwater or surface water because it is not easily biodegraded.
Generally, the toxicity of neutral polyether polyols ingested into the mouth or in contact with skin, eyes, and mucous membranes is negligible, so there is no need for personal protective measures during use. Amino polyether polyols can irritate the skin and eyes due to their alkalinity, so you should wear protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves during operation.
