Storage and Handling

BIODAC 2-32 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks.

It is suggested to keep the product at temperature below 30°C, it is preferable to avoid heating above 50°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize yellowish phenomena.

BIODAC 2-32 is a clear liquid at room temperature it becomes a solid wax at temperature lower than -10°C. Improvement of appearance and handling at lo w temperature can be achieved by mixing the product with 15 weight% water to obtain a clear liquid up to a temperature about -20 C°.
