Storage & Handling

Handling Precautions

Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPFLOW T6. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling STEP-FLOW T6. High shear mixing may be required to incorporate STEP-FLOW T6 into formulations. Heating STEP-FLOW T6 to 122°F (50°C) and/or blending with a glycol is preferred to help facilitate incorporation and prevent gelling.

Mix well before use, especially after storing at temperatures below 77°F (25°C). If gelling occurs during cold storage, warm up to 77°F (25°C) with gentle mixing.

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.
