Solid Storage & Handling
Storage Recommendations
Due to their hygroscopic nature, all solid de-icing products will conglomerate and solidify to a certain extent over time in certain conditions. NASi SF technology has advanced with improved formulating, manufacturing, and packaging techniques. With proper handling and storage NASi SF will remain easy to handle. Always store indoors or under cover to keep NASi SF dry. It is recommended to store product in its original packaging on a pallet. Open bags should be tightly sealed.
Handling Recommendations
NASi SF is packed to protect it from humidity. As such, it is normal over time for the product to become loosely compacted during shipping and storage. If the packaged material feels somewhat solid to the touch, some compaction may have occurred. The following steps should be taken to ease emptying and handling of the product.
Super Sack (1000 kg/2205 lbs)
Use a forklift to lift the sack by the straps. Raise it and tap it to the ground several times. This should loosen any compacted product and allow easy unloading.
Poly Bag (25 kg/55 lbs)
Bags can be dropped from a short height onto a hard surface a few times to loosen any compacted product.
For safety and to avoid pressure set, it is not recommended to stack the pallets or super-sacks (ss).
