Storage & Handling

Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling MAKON TD-8 surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.

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. MAKON TD-8 which has been stored in drums at temperatures below 10°C (50°F) may thicken or solidify. It may be 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.
