Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling TOXIMUL TANS surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials.
  • 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. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 120°F (49°C) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the products.
  • TOXIMUL TANS products which have been stored in drums at temperatures below 25°F (-4°C) may thicken or solidify. They 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 120°F (49°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 practices should be used to control these exposures.
