Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPOSOL SB-W. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials. Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended. Being derived from soybean oil, STEPOSOL SB-W contains polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl ester that can spontaneously combust. Oily rags, presenting a large surface area for air contact, should be washed out or stored where there can be no fire hazard. 
  • Recommended Drum Storage: Drums should be stored sealed at temperatures of 50-110°F (10-43°C).
  • Bulk Storage Information: STEPOSOL SB-W can be stored in vessels of carbon steel, but 316 or 304 stainless steel is preferred. Tanks should be closed with venting through a gooseneck vent. STEPOSOL SB-W should be stored between 50-110°F (10-43°C). External steam panel coils can be used if heating is required. Pumps, pipes, and transfer lines can be carbon steel, but 316 or 304 stainless is preferred. Rubber hoses are not recommended for extended use as STEPOSOL SB-W may degrade rubber.
