STEP-FLOW 4894-SC is available in drums, totes and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEP-FLOW 4894-SC handling materials. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials.
Bulk Storage Information
Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many ovencured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 130°F (54°C) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
Non-Bulk Storage Information
STEP-FLOW 4894-SC which has been stored in drums at temperatures below 75°F (24°C) may thicken or solidify. It may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended.
- 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.
