Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • TERMUL® 5500 surfactant may be satisfactorily stored in carbon steel tanks using steel pipes and pumps although 304 or 316 stainless steel is recommended. If carbon steel is used, caution must be exercised 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.
