Storage

 

Recommendations for storage conditions:

Because BICAR® is not a dangerous product, its storage is not subject to specific regulations. 

As it ages, the finest grades of BICAR® in particular :

  • Absorb humidity, causing a tendency to form lumps. This process accelerates if the BICAR® is compacted during storage
  • absorb smells from other products stored nearby
  • give off CO2, a process which increases as the temperature rises.

In general we suggest following conditions of storage :

  • avoid storing BICAR® close to heat sources
  • avoid stacking sacks more than 2 pallets high.
  • recommend using coated steel (epoxy resin or similar coating) or stainless steel storage silos, especially for storing BICAR® CODEX, BICAR® PHARMA and BICAR® FCC.
  • recommend in a covered local
  • preferably at a temperature lower than 30ºC
  • preferably at a relative humidity of less than 50 % in a well-ventilated warehouse or store.

We recommend using coated steel (epoxy resin or similar coating) or stainless steel storage silos, especially for storing BICAR® CODEX, BICAR® PHARMA and BICAR® FCC.
