Storage And Handling
  • TRIDAC ISO-12 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks.
  • It is suggested to keep the product at temperature below 40°C, it is preferable to avoid heating above 60°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize yellowish phenomena.
  • TRIDAC ISO-12 is a cloudy liquid at room temperature it becomes transparent at temperature about 40°C.
  • TRIDAC ISO-12 becomes a solid wax at temperature lower than 20°C. Improvement of appearance and handling at low temperature can be achieved by mixing the product with 10 weight% water to obtain a clear liquid up to a temperature about 5°C.
  • At room temperature TRIDAC ISO-12 is water soluble up to 20 weight%.
  • Shelf-life is 36 months from production date for product in its original and sealed packaging.
