5. Handling and Storage:
Keep in a well closed container stored under cold to warm conditions, 2 to 40 C, ( 36 to 104F) . Protect against physical damage. Avoid dust formation and control ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any process capable of generating dust and/ or static electricity. Empty only into inert or non-flammable atmosphere. Emptying contents into a non-inert atmosphere where flammable vapors may be present could cause a flash fire or explosion due to electrostatic discharge. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues ( dust, solids) ; observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

Applications:
Widely used in curing agent, plastic heat stabilizer and wetting agent
Textile softener, chemical fiber oil, anti-static agent and edible emulsifier
