Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Handle ACCOSOFT 550-90 HHV with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in a well ventilated area. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Use gloves and safety goggles when handling ACCOSOFT 550-90 HHV.
  • The color and odor of ACCOSOFT fabric softener quaternaries are susceptible to degradation as a result of exposure to high temperatures, particularly in the presence of air. ACCOSOFT 550-90 HHV contains sodium bisulfite as an antioxidant to preserve color. Successful long term storage, in liquid form, depends on maintaining a sodium bisulfite level of 
  • It is recommended that ACCOSOFT 550-90 HHV be stored in stainless steel storage tanks of type 304L minimum, 316L is preferred. Also acceptable are Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) with an Atlac 382 type lining. Tanks should be padded with a nitrogen gas blanket, and equipped with conservation vents and flame arrestors. Tanks should be adequately insulated to maintain elevated temperatures. Generally, mixing is recommended to maintain homogeneity, either by a mechanical stirrer or recirculation loop.
  • Bulk storage facilities should be designed to maintain a minimum product temperature of 27°C (80°F) and a maximum temperature of 52°C (125°F). Hot water heating provided through No. 316L Stainless Steel heating coils is recommended. Steam heating through coils can be used.
