Storage and Handling

It is recommended to keep ALCHEM 123 in a cool and well ventilated place. ALCHEM 123 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks or steel lined with epoxy-phenolic resins. Avoid materials as aluminum, copper and copper alloys.

It is suggested to store the product at temperature between 30°C and 40°C. It is preferable to avoid h eating above 50°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize yellowish phenomena. To prevent oxidation during prolonged storage, it is recommended to blanket the product with nitrogen.
