RemOx® EC

RemOx® EC

RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent is a specially-formulated, enhanced permanganate solution. This reagent is utilized for In Situ Biogeochemical Stabilization (ISBS) of Contaminants of Concern (COC) found at manufactured gas plants (MGPs), refineries, and wood treaters as well as other manufacturing facilities.

SHIPPING CONTAINERS
55-gallon closed head HDPE drum
(UN specification: UN1H1/Y1.9/150) Made of high density polyethylene (HDPE). Weighs 22 lbs (10 kg). The net weight is 469 lbs (213 kg). The drum stands approximately 35.5 inches tall, and has an outside diameter of 24 inches (91 cm tall, OD 59.4 cm).

CORROSIVE PROPERTIES
RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent is compatible with many metals and synthetic materials. Natural rubbers and fibers are often incompatible. Solution pH and temperature are also important factors. The material must be compatible with either the acid or alkali also being used.

Corrosion of metals may be accelerated since permanganate and chloride are present in solution. Plastics such as polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride Type I (PVC I), epoxy resins, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), Penton, Lucite, Viton A, and Hypalon are suitable. Teflon FEP and TFE, and Tefzel ETFE are best. Refer to Material Compatibility Chart.

Aluminum, zinc, copper, lead, and alloys containing these metals may be (slightly) affected by sodium permanganate solutions. Actual chemical compatibility studies should be made under the conditions in which permanganate will be used.

HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INCOMPATIBILITY
Protect containers against physical damage. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn when handling RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent.

RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent is stable and will keep for up to 6 months if stored in a cool, dry area in closed containers. Concrete floors are preferred to wooden decks. To clean up spills and leaks, follow the steps recommended in the MSDS. Be sure to use goggles, rubber gloves, and respirator when cleaning up a spill or leak.

Avoid contact with acids, peroxides, and all combustible organic or readily oxidizable materials including inorganic oxidizable materials and metal powders. With hydrochloric acid, chlorine gas is liberated. RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent is not combustible but will support combustion. It may decompose if exposed to intense heat. Fires may be controlled and extinguished by using large quantities of water. Refer to the MSDS for more information.

SHIPPING
RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent is classified as an oxidizer for both domestic and international transportation. RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent (contains sodium permanganate) is shipped domestically as Freight Class 70.
