|
|
|
|
|
If so, state inhibitor or stabilizer used:
|
|
Concentration:

|
How long will the inhibitor or stabilizer remain
active at the carriage temperature?
|
|
Conditions or materials likely to render the inhibitor
or stabilizer ineffective:
|
3.3
|
Does the material require tank environmental
control?
|
YES
|
NO
|
|
If so, give details below of the hazards to be
overcome and the methods used.
|
|
1. Vapour space control, e.g. to prevent peroxide
formation, dangerous reaction with moisture, flammability hazards,
etc.:
|
|
2. Temperature control, e.g. to prevent dangerous
self-reaction:
|
|
3. Any other environmental control:
|
3.4

gas, aerosols or significant quantities of heat?
|
YES
|
NO
|
|
If so, give details:
|
3.5
