Storage & Handling

Storage Condition

a) Dehypon® 36 should be stored indoors in a dry place. Storage rooms must not be overheated.

b) Dehypon® LS 36 is hygroscopic due to its good solubility in water, with the result that it may absorb moisture very quickly. Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

c) Dehypon® LS 36 is a clear to cloudy liquid and tends to form sediment.

d) Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 30 - 50°C and homogenized before it is processed. Please mix sufficiently prior to use.

e) Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet. The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 50°C. Please mix sufficiently prior to use. This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements. Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

f) Dehypon® LS 36 must be blanketed with nitrogen if it is stored in heated tanks (at 30 - 40°C) to prevent it from coming into contact with air. Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent it being discolored as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.

 

Materials: The following materials can be used for tanks and drums: a) AISI 321 stainless steel (X6CrNiTi1810) b) AISI 316 Ti stainless steel (X6CrNiMoTi17122) Provided it is stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed,

Shelf life: Dehypon® LS 36 has a shelf life of at least two years in its original packaging
