- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
- The international inventories country clearances of STEPFAC 8181 K, can be found in Section 15 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). It is the responsibility of the formulator to review the chemical control regulations for each country where the end product is intended to be sold or used.
- STEPFAC 8181 K is approved for use as an inert ingredient under U.S. EPA 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 at no more than 83% by weight in a pesticide formulation.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
STEPFAC 8181 K is available in drums and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPFAC 8181 K materials.
Bulk Storage Information
Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping, but product should be stored at ambient temperature. STEPFAC 8181 K that has been stored in drums at temperatures below -11°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 inhalation of vapors and mists. Controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace safety practices should be used to control these exposures.
