Storage of Polyglykol 6000:
PEG 6000 PS is stable for 2 years when stored in the original sealed containers in a cool, dry place.
Furthermore the containers should not be exposed to direct sun light.
Ambient temperatures for long term storage are preferably between 10°C and 25°C and between 0°C and 30°C as maximum.
Storage at higher temperatures is possible only for a short time and should be kept below the solidification point of the products.
The most suitable material for storage tanks is stainless steel, pure aluminium, rubber-or polyethylenelined containers and storage tanks made from glass-fibre-reinforced polyester (GRP).
The tank should be ventilated by means of a silica gel dryer.
Conventional steel tanks are of limited suitability because after prolonged storage the product may become discoloured owing to traces of iron.
