All components of POLYSTEP B-1 are listed in the following countries; the registration numbers for the active ingredients are included in parentheses: United States (TSCA 9051-57-4), Europe (EINECS - polymer exemption), Japan (ENCS 7-1338), Korea (ECL Serial No. KE-32523), Canada (DSL 9051-57-4), Australia (AICS 9051-57-4), Philippines (PICCS 9051-57-4) and China (IECSC 9051-57-4).
Safety & Health
- Health Effects
POLYSTEP B-1 is slightly toxic orally (LD50 >500 mg/kg b.w.) and when tested undiluted is severely irritating to skin and eyes.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP B-1 is available in bulk and in 55 gallon drums (450 lb/204 kg) .
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Handle POLYSTEP B-1 with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in well ventilated area. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged skin contact should be avoided. Use gloves and safety goggles when handling POLYSTEP B-1. Wash thoroughly after handling material. It is recommended that POLYSTEP B-1 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Information
POLYSTEP B-1 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Atmospheric storage with flame arrestor is recommended. All fittings should be electrically grounded. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 59-68 °F (15-20 °C). Use mild heat if needed avoiding the use of steam since it may impact product integrity. Recirculated warm water is recommended. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
