STEPOSOL ROE-W has a low toxicity (oral LD50 >5000 mg/kg) and is not a skin and eye irritant.

Packaging & Availability

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling

Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPOSOL ROE-W. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials. Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended. Being derived from canola oil, STEPOSOL ROE-W contains polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters that can spontaneously combust. Oily rags, presenting a large surface area for air contact, should be washed out or stored where there can be no fire hazard.

Recommended Drum Storage

STEPOSOL ROE-W should be stored in sealed containers at a temperature of 50-110°F. Storage under nitrogen will prevent degradation of the product over time.

Recommended Bulk Storage

STEPOSOL ROE-W can be stored in vessels of carbon steel; however 316 or 304 stainless steel is preferred. Tanks should be closed with venting through a gooseneck vent. STEPOSOL ROE-W should be stored between 50-110°F. External steam panel coils can be used if heating is required. Rubber hoses are not recommended for extended use. Storage under nitrogen will prevent degradation of the product over time.
