Storage & Handling

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. See the SDS for further information.

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (e.g. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPAN MWA-110. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling STEPAN MWA-110. See the SDS for further information. 
  • Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: It is recommended that STEPAN MWA-110 be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. Liquipak or HDPE plastic drums are recommended for storage of STEPAN MWA-110. If the material is exposed to cooler temperatures, it can crystallize and separate. It should be heated slowly and agitated gently to insure its homogeneity before use.
  • Bulk Storage Recommendations: Bulk Storage Information: STEPAN MWA-110 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 23 – 40°C (75 – 105°F). An internal hairpin coil of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
