Safety & Health
- Health Effects
POLYSTEP B-11 is practically non-toxic orally (LD50 >5g/kg) at the 7.5% solution level and it causes moderate skin and eye irritation.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP B-11 is available in bulk and in 55 gallon drums (450 lb/204 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Handle POLYSTEP B-11 with care; keep away from sparks and open flame. Use in wellcventilated area. Contact with eyes or nose, or prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Use gloves and safety goggles when handling POLYSTEP B-11. It is recommended that POLYSTEP B-11 be stored in polyethylene drums and kept in a dry place between 80 and 90°F. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure that it is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Information
POLYSTEP B-11 should be stored in container made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion resistant liner. Atmospheric storage with flame arrestor is recommended. All fittings should be electrically grounded. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 80 and 90°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.
