Storage & Handling

Storage Information
  • As with most surfactants, it is recommended that normal safety precautions (i.e., use of gloves and safety goggles) be followed when handling BIO-SOFT.
  • Recommended Storage Conditions: The BIO-SOFT® D-40 should be stored in closed containers in a cool, dry place.
  • Bulk Storage Recommendations: The BIO-SOFT® D-40 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 85 - 105°F. An internal hairpin coil constructed of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
