Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • SURFONIC® CO-36 surfactant may be satisfactorily stored in carbon steel tanks using steel pipes and pumps.
  • Caution must be exercised, however, to keep the material in the anhydrous state to prevent severe corrosion to the carbon steel tank and related equipment.
  • A drier on the breathing nozzle is recommended to help maintain anhydrous conditions in the storage tank.
  • For longer term color stability, it is recommended that the product be stored under an inert atmosphere.
  • Solid sediment may form upon standing.
  • There should be circulation in the storage vessel to keep solids suspended.
  • Low pressure steam coils in storage tanks and steam tracing of transfer lines should be provided in cases where low environmental temperatures may make pumping of the product difficult.
