We are not aware of any ill effect that can result from using Sokalan® CP 5 for the purpose for which it is intended and from processing it in accordance with current practices. According to the experience that we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, Sokalan® CP 5 does not exert harmful effects on health, provided it is used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheets are observed.

Handling Only Packaged Goods 

1. Sokalan® CP 5 should be stored in a dry place in its original sealed packaging.
2. Sokalan® CP 5 can slighty separate during the storage time. The product must be homogenized before it is processed. It must be mixed sufficiently prior to use.
3. The storage temperature must be between min. + 5°C and max. +25°C. At low temperatures (approx. + 5°C) Sokalan® CP 5 forms crystals and becomes solid. Drums or IBCs containing solidified product or liquid that have begun to precipitate or separated should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet. Warming up to max. +25°C allows the product to become liquid again. It must be mixed 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 can cause.
4. Sokalan® CP 5 must be protected from sunlight and high temperatures to avoid discoloration and the formation of surface films.
5. Sokalan® CP 5 must be blanketed with nitrogen if it is stored to prevent air contact. Air contact can cause discoloration.
6. Please refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet for detailed information on product safety.

Handling Only Bulk Containers

1. The storage temperature for bulk product must be between min. +40°C and max. +60°C. Storage temperatures above + 60°C cause an increase of the color number. At low temperatures (approx. < +5°C) Sokalan® CP 5 forms crystals and becomes solid.
2. Sokalan® CP 5 can slighty separate during the storage time. The product must be homogenized before it is processed. It must be mixed sufficiently prior to use.
3. Sokalan® CP 5 must be protected from high temperatures (> +60°C) to avoid discoloration and the formation of surface films.
4. Sokalan® CP 5 must be blanketed with nitrogen if it is stored in heated tanks (at max. +60°C) to prevent air contact. Air contact can cause discoloration. Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent it being discolored as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.
5. Please refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet for detailed information on product safety.
