Safety & Health
- Toxicity
AMPHOSOL CDB-HP is slightly toxic orally in rats (≥ 5000 mg/kg) and it is expected to be mildly to moderately irritating to eyes and not irritating to skin at ≤ 10% solution, when tested at neutral pH.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
AMPHOSOL CDB-HP is available in bulk and 55 gallon drums.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling AMPHOSOL CDB-HP. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling.
- It is recommended that AMPHOSOL CDB-HP be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures between 60 °F-110 °F (15.5 °C-43.3 °C). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use.
- Please Note: When stored in drums, AMPHOSOL CDB-HP may experience gelling at the top of the container. Stepan recommends the use of the entire drum contents in the processing of your final product. If this is not possible, mild heat and agitation is recommended prior to use.
