Regulatory & Compliance
- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
All components of STEPAN-MILD PCL are listed in the following countries: United States (TSCA), Canada (DSL), Australia (AICS), Europe (EINECS), and Japan (ENCS).
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Standard Packaging
STEPAN-MILD PCL is available in 55-gallon drums (net weight 450 lb/204 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety glasses) should be employed when handling STEPAN-MILD PCL. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided.
- It is recommended that STEPAN-MILD PCL be stored in sealed containers. Store and handle in equipment normally used for detergents. Recommended storage temperature is 60-100 °F (15-38 °C). Viscosity of product will increase significantly as bulk temperature falls below 60 °F (15 °C). Material of construction of storage tank should be 316 stainless steel (or fiberglass with DION 382 liner). Transfer pumps should be Viking stainless steel (or other similar gear pump) with internal pressure relief capabilities. The tank and pump should be grounded. If material is frozen, mild heat (80-100 °F (27-38 °C) and agitation is required to ensure material is homogenous before use. Keep the product between a pH of 4 and 9 or hydrolysis will occur.
- 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.
