Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling POLYSTEP C-OP3S. Avoid contact with eyes or nose, or prolonged contact with the skin. Wash thoroughly after handling material. It is recommended that POLYSTEP C-OP3S be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
Bulk Storage Information
POLYSTEP C-OP3S should be stored in containers made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion resistant liner. 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.
