Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling ECOSTEP BC- 12. Contact with the eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling ECOSTEP BC-12.
- Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: ECOSTEP BC-12 should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Temperatures below 75F (24C) may thicken or solidify. It may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room, by heating gently and mixing to ensure it is homogenous prior to use. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended.
- Bulk Storage Recommendations: ECOSTEP BC-12 should be stored in vessels of stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used.
