Product data sheet (Polymer production, 2021-9-17): Applications: DEAL-E is used as a cocatalyst in the polymerization of olefins. Storage: DEAL-E and its solutions are stable when stored under a dry, inert atmosphere and away from heat. DEAL-E slowly decomposes at temperatures above ~ 185°C. Packaging and transport: DEAL-E and its solutions are available worldwide in cylinders and portable tanks. In North America only, DEAL-E is also available in tank trailers and rail cars. Containers are fabricated from carbon steel and are equipped with dip tubes for top discharge and all connections are located in the vapor space. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. Safety and handling: DEAL-E may ignite upon exposure to air and reacts violently with water. DEAL-E and its solutions must be handled under a dry, inert atmosphere, e. g. nitrogen or argon. Water must be scrupulously removed from process equipment prior to putting it into metal alkyls service. Failure to do so may result in an explosion. Products of complete combustion of DEAL-E and its solutions are aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide and water. DEAL-E causes severe burns to the skin and eyes. It is imperative that proper personal protective equipment be worn when handling DEAL-E. Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling of DEAL-E. This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The MSDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search.
