Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPGROW DRTS handling materials. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials. See SDS for more information.
  • Bulk Storage Information: Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C) is sufficient to maintain ease of pumping. The recommended storage temperature for STEPGROW DRTS is 50- 100°F (10-43°C).
  • Non-Bulk Storage Information: STEPGROW DRTS which has been stored in drums at temperatures below 10°F (-13°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 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.
