Storage & Handling

Storgae Information

Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves, safety goggles) should be employed when handling Handling BIO-SOFT N25 Series products. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or prolonged skin contact. Wash exposed areas thoroughly after handling material. While diluting the BIO-SOFT N25 Series products, as with all alcohol ethoxylates, they are prone to gelling. If the product is diluted into water, heating may be required to minimize or eliminate gel formation. It is recommended that the BIO-SOFT N25 Series products be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If the products are frozen, they should be heated gently and stirred to ensure they are homogeneous before use.
