Safety & Health
- Toxicity
POLYSTEP B-7 is slightly toxic orally (LD50 is 3-5.5 g/kg).and it causes severe skin and eye irritation at the 10% solution level.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP B-7 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 Handling POLYSTEP B-7. Contact with the eyes or nose, or prolonged skin contact should be avoided. It is recommended that POLYSTEP B-7 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a dry place between 27 and 38 °C (80 and 100 °F). If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Information
POLYSTEP B-7 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion resistant liner. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 27 and 38 °C (80 and 100 °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.
