Storage and Handling Conditions

Bulk Storage Recommendations: STEPSPERSE® 71 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. STEPSPERSE® 71 should be stored between 90-110°F (32-38°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 steel is preferred. Storage under nitrogen will prevent degradation of the product over time.
