Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling information
- At LANXESS production facility, the K-Flex® 500 plasticizers are stored in type 304 stainless steel storage tanks.
- These storage tanks are nitrogen padded to reduce discoloration of the product.
- Type 304 stainless steel pipe and valves are also used.
- High density polyethylene has been shown to be suitable for product shipment but we have no direct experience in piping systems.
- Since K-FLEX products are excellent plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), PVC piping systems should not be used.
- Sliding vane type positive displacement pumps have given us excellent service.
- It is recommended that storage tanks be heated and insulated and that pumps and transfer piping also be heat-treated and insulated.
- Our engineers are always ready to discuss the storage and handling of any of our products.
