Storage & Handling
- Recommended Storage
- Keep tightly closed (hygroscopic) in a cool, dry place away from oxidizers. Store separately from food and drink.Adjudicated
- Handling Precautions
- Chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles. Ethylene glycol grades are toxic by ingestion and must be kept away from food, drink and animals; propylene glycol grades are not. Avoid contact with hot surfaces and hot process equipment. Inhibitor packages deplete in service — monitor rather than top up blindly.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Incompatibilities
- Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases, aldehydes, alkali and alkaline-earth metals, aluminum compounds.Adjudicated
- Shelf Life
- Consult Technical Services for product-specific shelf life
For full hazard, PPE, and emergency response guidance, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product. The SDS controls in all cases where guidance differs.
Packaging & Logistics
