  • Bulk Storage Information: Tanks made of fiberglass are recommended. Storage tanks made of 316 stainless steel are susceptible to chloride-induced cracking over time. Centrifugal or positive displacement pumps gear pumps are recommended. Piping of 316 stainless steel is adequate; however Teflon or fiberglass piping is preferred. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 50-110 °F (10-43 °C).
