Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Handle STEPANTEX VK 90 with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in a well ventilated area. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Use gloves and safety goggles when handling STEPANTEX VK 90. It is recommended that STEPANTEX VK 90 be stored in stainless steel storage tanks of type 304L minimum, 316L is preferred. Also acceptable are Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) with an Atlac 382 type lining. Tanks should be padded with a nitrogen gas blanket, and equipped with conservation vents and flame arrestors. Tanks should be adequately insulated to maintain elevated temperatures. Generally, mixing is recommended to maintain homogeneity, either by a mechanical stirrer or recirculation loop. Bulk storage facilities should be designed to maintain a minimum product temperature of 50°C (122°F) and a maximum temperature of 60°C (140°F). Hot water heating provided through No. 316L Stainless Steel heating coils is recommended. Steam heating through coils can be used. No. 316L Stainless Steel centrifugal or positive displacement pumps should be used. Piping should be of No. 316L Stainless Steel, Schedule 40 or Steel Kynar lined P.V.F. Rubber hoses lined with Teflon or crosslinked polyethylene and equipped with No. 316L Stainless Steel fittings are recommended for loading and unloading. Contact with brass, copper, and aluminum components must be strictly avoided.
