Packaging Information

EMULDAC AS-25 is generally supplied in sacks.

Storage & Handling

Preservative System

EMULDAC AS-25 does not contain any preservative. EMULDAC AS-25 is not susceptible to microbial growth because of extremely low water content.

Storage and Handling
  • EMULDAC AS-25 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks.
  • It is suggested to keep the product at temperature below 50°C, it is preferable to avoid heating above 60°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize yellowish phenomena.
  • EMULDAC AS-25 is solid at room temperature and it becomes homogeneous and transparent at temperature about 50°C.
  • If EMULDAC AS-25 is packaged, it should be stored in a cool location in sacks or containers made of plastic materials impermeable to moisture.
  • At room temperature EMULDAC AS-25 is water soluble up to 15 weight%.
