Storage & Handling

Storage Condition

Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations:

  • BIO-SOFT N-900 should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
  • In general, as with all alcohol ethoxylates, non-bulk packages should be stirred to ensure they are homogeneous before use.
  • If material is frozen, it should also be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.\

Bulk Storage Recommendations:

  • BIO-SOFT N-900 should be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner.
  • Heating and agitation are recommended for outside storage. Material should be stored between 95-131 °F (35-55 °C).
  • An internal hairpin coil 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.
