Abstract
Packaged formulation comprising a compound liable to exothermic decomposition and optionally one or more organic diluents, said formulation being packaged in a container with a volume of at least 250 liter provided with a vent to release gases and made from a thermoplastic material having a Vicat B softening temperature not higher than (a) the run-away temperature of the compound liable to exothermic decomposition if the formulation does not contain any diluent, or (b) the boiling temperature of at least 50 wt % of the total weight of diluent if the formulation does contain organic diluent.
Claims18
A packaged non-aqueous formulation comprising a compound liable to exothermic decomposition and optionally one or more organic diluents, said formulation being packaged in a container with a volume of at least 250 liters provided with a vent to release gases and made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) having a Vicat B softening temperature not higher than (a) the run-away temperature of the compound liable to exothermic decomposition if the formulation does not contain any diluent, or (b) the boiling temperature of the diluents that constitute at least 50 wt % of the total weight of diluent if the formulation does contain organic diluent.
A method to store and/or transport a formulation comprising a compound liable to exothermic decomposition and optionally one or more diluents, the method comprising storing and/or transporting said formulation in a container with a volume of at least 250 liters provided with a vent to release gases and made from a thermoplastic material having a Vicat B softening temperature not higher than (a) the run-away temperature of the compound liable to exothermic decomposition if the composition does not contain any diluent, or (b) the boiling temperature of at least 50 wt % of the total weight of diluent if the composition does contain organic diluent.
