Bulk Storage Information

SO/SAN 30M can be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Contact between quaternaries and anionic materials, soap and sulfated oils must be avoided. SO/SAN 30M should be stored between 85-120 °F. An internal hairpin coil of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel. Rubber hoses with Teflon cross-linked polyethylene with 316 stainless steel fittings are recommended for loading and unloading.

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.
