Storage &
Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling
MAKON DA series surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided.
Wash thoroughly after handling material.
Bulk Storage Information: Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many
oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used.
MAKON DA series surfactants which have been stored in drums at temperatures below 60F (16C) may
thicken or solidify. They may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should
be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 120°F (49°C) are
not recommended.
Standard Packaging: MAKON DA-4 and DA-6 are available in drums (425 lb, 193 kg) and bulk quantities.
MAKON DA-9 is available in drums (450 lb, 205 kg) and in bulk quantities.
