POLYSTEP B-5 is used in latex manufacture. It is useful in most polymer systems, especially styrene-butadiene or vinyl chloride. POLYSTEP B-5 can also be used in the manufacture of fine particle size acrylics and styrene acrylics. POLYSTEP B-5 can be blended with nonionic surfactants to create very satisfactory acrylic emulsions.

- All components of POLYSTEP B-5 are listed in the following countries; the registration numbers for the active ingredients are included in parentheses: United States (TSCA 68585-47-7), Australia (AICS 68585-47-7), Canada (DSL 68585-47-7), China (IECSC 68585-47-7), Japan (ENCS 2-1679), Korea (ECL Serial No. KE-32620), New Zealand (NZIoC 68585-47-7), Philippines (PICCS 68585-47-7), and Taiwan (TCSI 68585-47-7). It is the responsibility of the formulator to review the chemical control regulations for each country where the end product is intended to be sold or used.
- POLYSTEP B-5 is available in Kosher grade.
Safety & Health
- Health Effects
POLYSTEP B-5 is slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ is between 0.8 and 1.1 g/kg), it causes moderate eye irritation and mild skin irritation.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP B-5 is available in drums (450 lb, 204 kg) and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when Handling POLYSTEP B-5. Contact with eyes or nose, or prolonged skin contact should be avoided. It is recommended that POLYSTEP B-5 be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures between 60 °F (16 ºC) and 100 ºF (38 °C). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Information
POLYSTEP B-5 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion resistant liner. Mild agitation is recommended during storage to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 80 °F and100 °F (27 °C and 38 °C). 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.
