Pluronic P104
Pluronic P104 is a difunctional block copolymer surfactant terminating in primary hydroxyl groups. A nonionic surfactant that is 100% active and relatively nontoxic.
Shelf Life: BASF will endorse the results on the certificate of analysis for a period of up to two years from the date of manufacture for material in original, unopened, properly stored containers. Beyond two years, we recommend the quality of the material be confirmed prior to use, by retesting the certificate of analysis parameters.
