Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP A-15/30-K is available in bulk and in 55 gallon drums (net weight 450 lb/204 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling POLYSTEP A-15/30-K. Contact with the eyes or nose, or prolonged skin contact should be avoided. It is recommended that POLYSTEP A-15/30-K be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If material freezes it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure that it is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Information
POLYSTEP A-15/30-K should be stored in containers made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass that are equipped with a corrosion resistant liner. Mild agitation is recommended during extended storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 29-41 °C (85-105 °F). Use mild heat if needed avoiding the use of steam since it may impact product integrity. Recirculated warm water is recommended. Pumps, pipes, and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
- 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.
