Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPGROW 90. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash hands thoroughly after handling materials. See SDS for more information.
- Bulk Storage Information: It is recommended that STEPGROW 90 be stored in stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Storage temperatures above 90°F (32°C) are desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 130°F (54°C) can be maintained for two years without degradation of the product.
- 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 safety practices should be used to control these exposures. See SDS for more information.
