Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIO-SOFT NC-10. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials. BIO-SOFT NC-10 which has been stored in drums at temperatures below 24°C (75°F) may thicken and become hazy. It can be cleared and fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 54°C (130°F) are not recommended.
Bulk Storage Information
Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 54°C (130°F) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
