Standard Packaging

MAKON P104 is available in drums, totes, and bulk quantities.

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling

Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations

MAKON P104 should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). MAKON P104 which has been stored in drums at temperatures below pour point may thicken or solidify. It may be fluidized by warming to temperatures above pour point with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up.

Bulk Storage Recommendations

MAKON P104 should be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel, but carbon steel is adequate assuming effective moisture exclusion. Elevated storage temperature is recommended to maintain ease of pumping. Nitrogen blanketing is desirable to protect product quality. Product temperatures over 158°F (70°C) are not recommended. Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling MAKON P104. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling MAKON P104.

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 safety precautions should be used to control these exposures.
