Biodegradability

Product is biodegradable. A detailed biodegradability statement is available upon request.

Storage &
Handling

Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling NINOL
1281. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after
handling material.
It is recommended that NINOL 1281 be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures not exceeding
120F (49C). As with all amides, if overheating does occur, amide ester will be formed. To reverse the
reaction, NINOL 1281 should be stored at room temperature for approximately one week. Failure to do so
may result in formulation products with decreased foam and low viscosity.
