Storage & Handling

Storage Condition
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling NINATE 401-A.
  • Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided.
  • Wash thoroughly after handling materials.
  • Use product in a well-ventilated area away from sparks and open flame.
  • 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 130°F (54°C) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
  • NINATE 401-A which has been stored in drums at temperatures below 25 °F (-4 °C) may thicken or solidify.
  • It may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented during heating to avoid excessive pressure build up.
  • Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended, as excessive solvent loss may occur.
  • The flash point may be exceeded when warming to pump but the temperature should be below the flash point for storage.
  • Keep away from open flame and provide ventilation.
