Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations
BIO-SOFT DR-13 should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). If material is frozen, it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Recommendations
BIO-SOFT DR-13 should be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Heating and agitation are recommended for outside storage. Material should be stored between 80-100 °F (27-38 °C). An internal hairpin coil of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
