• Incompatible
• In its neat form, this product is not compatible with Buna-N rubber, neoprene, silicone rubber,
• Plasite® 4300 and 3070, nylon, aluminum, brass, carbon steel, copper, stainless steel and other common metals. This product is strongly basic and an oxidizing agent. Contact with organic materials such as alcohols and aldehydes, strong reducing agents, strong oxidizers, acids, and ammonia-containing products should be avoided. Use of incompatible materials can promote the exothermic decomposition of the product. In extreme cases, this could result in vigorous gas formation and over-pressurization of storage containers.

Handling Instructions

For specific safety, handling and toxicity information please refer to the current material safety data sheet.

Storage Instructions

MAXXIS Biocide should be stored away from incompatible materials. To maximize product shelf life, the product should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in opaque containers to minimize exposure to light and especially sunlight. As the product ages, activity is gradually lost and nitrogen pressure can build up in the headspace; therefore, the product should be stored in vented containers. Avoid freezing, excessive heat or exposure to light, especially direct sunlight. Heating of the product above what is needed for freeze protection should be avoided as it can accelerate decomposition. Temperature monitoring is recommended. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the average temperature of the product is maintained below 110 °F (~43 °C). Please refer to the material safety data sheet for additional information. When properly stored and protected from light, this product retains 95% of its original activity for about nine months at ~90 °F (~32 °C).
