The storage of silicone softener is a critical link, and proper storage methods can ensure its stable performance and extend its service life. Here are detailed suggestions for storing silicone softener:

I. Storage Environment
Temperature: Silicone softener should be stored in a dry, shaded environment at a temperature range of 5°C to 30°C (or 1°C to 40°C, depending on the product instructions). Avoid high and low temperature environments, as excessively high temperatures may cause the product to deteriorate or yellow, while excessively low temperatures may affect the product's fluidity.
Humidity: Keep the storage environment dry to prevent the product from being exposed to moisture. High humidity may cause the product to clump or deteriorate.
Lighting: Avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may cause chemical reactions in the product, affecting its performance.

II. Packaging and Containers
Sealability: The product should be stored in airtight containers to prevent air, moisture, and other impurities from entering. Once the packaging bucket is opened, it should be used up as soon as possible. If not used up, it needs to be resealed.
Packaging Materials: Polyethylene plastic buckets or iron drums are commonly used for packaging, as these materials have good sealability and corrosion resistance.

III. Storage Duration
Silicone softener typically has a certain storage duration, generally ranging from 6 months to 1 year (or 9 months or 12 months for some products), depending on the product type and manufacturer's specifications. Products beyond their storage duration may experience performance degradation, so they should be used within their validity period.

IV. Precautions
Avoid storing with flammable, explosive, toxic, or other hazardous items to ensure the safety of the storage environment.
During storage and use, follow relevant safety operating procedures to prevent product leakage or splashing into the eyes, skin, etc.
Regularly check the storage environment to ensure that the product is in good storage condition.

In summary, proper storage methods are crucial for maintaining the stable performance of silicone softener. Following the above suggestions can ensure that the product is not damaged during storage, thereby extending its service life.
