4.a. Maximum storage temperature: 120°F
4.b. Minimum storage temperature: 35°F
4.c. Optimum storage temperature range: 40°F to 113°F
4.d. Temperatures of phase separations and chemical changes: Stable
V. SHELF LIFE
Unlimited in sealed polydrums or totes (as delivered).
VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: The diluted composition of the present formulation is preferably applied to a surface to be cleaned under pressure (i.e., power washing), but will work well poured directly onto the contaminated area. It is advantageous to apply the diluted final composition at high pressure, above 500 psi, but it is not required.
2. Concentration/Application Rate: For treating hydrocarbons on beaches, rocks, and hard surfaces the final composition is diluted 1:15 with fresh or sea water and is applied to the hydrocarbons at a rate of about 4 gallons for 1000 square feet of contaminated area. For spills which are of heavy consistency, the diluted mixture is preferably applied at a rate of about 1.3 gallons for 1000 square feet of contaminated area and the diluted final composition is preferably applied over a period of three consecutive days. Residue should be collected and disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal practices and laws.
3. Conditions for Use: The composition of the present formulation is diluted into water, preferably at a temperature of about 38°F to about 60°F. While the composition is active below about 38°F, the activity is slightly reduced. The composition is also active at temperatures above about 60°F; however, at these elevated temperatures the composition is less stable and is denatured at a greater rate than at lower temperatures. Preferably, the diluted compositions of the present formulation are used immediately after the dilution into about 38°F to 60°F water.
