If maintenance of tank requires entry by personnel, Confined Space Entry standards and procedures must be observed and atmosphere testing to be performed prior to tank entry and thereafter. If welding is to be performed, the tank should be gas free (LEL < 10%) and only certified welders shall perform welding operations.

Product should be stored in a well-ventilated aboveground storage tank designed to contain material. When using tanks with lower design SG, then reduce filling height appropriately. Material can ferment if excessive moisture contamination is allowed. When stored in IBC, ensure proper ventilation to prevent quality deterioration.

Ensure no eating or drinking whilst handling this material. Wash hands before and after handling material.

Ensure tank level guages are used to help prevent overfilling of storage tank

Impermeable chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets (EN374)

If there is a risk of splashing, ensure splash proof safety glasses (EN166) are worn.

Cotton type overalls/clothing

Ensure storage tanks/containers have adequate means to measure level of stored material to prevent overfilling. If stored near water courses, rivers and drains ensure means of preventing spilled material entering these areas.

Product is stable if stored as prescribed.
