    Storage & Handling

    Storage Information
    • T-Det “N” nonionic surfactants are stable non-corrosive products in an anhydrous state. They can be stored in plain steel tanks with piping, valves, and pumps of the same metal.
    • Aqueous solutions of T-Det “N” surfactants must be stored in stainless steel or plastic lined tanks.
    • The nonylphenol- ethylene oxide adducts are slightly hydroscopic.
    • Where necessary, guard against atmospheric moisture pick-up, an inert gas blanket may be used.
