Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPGROW RM-1002. Contact with eyes or nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling STEPGROW RM-1002. See SDS for more information.
- Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: STEPGROW RM-1002 should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place, away from strong oxidizing and reducing agents. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous prior to use.
- Bulk Storage Recommendations: STEPGROW RM-1002 should be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel. Material should be stored between 20 - 40°C (68 - 104°F). Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
- 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.
