n-butane
PERFORMANCES
The NOVASPRAYTM n-butane is a specially deodorized aerosol grade n-butane. With a constant quality it
meets all the requirements of a propellant.
Economical because of its low density, it allows reducing the necessary weight of propellant.
Its excellent miscibility with most solvents allows a lot of flexibility in formulation.
With no effect on the ozone layer and a negligible impact on the greenhouse effect.

STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
Precautions for handling and storage:
French plants are controlled by the regulation of listed Establishments and have to comply with it
(or with the local legislation).
All packaging will be stored in a dry, well
ventilated,
easily
accessible
place,
sheltered from sunlight and bad weather,
away from any ignition source.
ƒ
It is recommended to store all packaging
either in a specific place or isolated and
sheltered by a fence.
ƒ
All packaging and piping will be grounded
to discharge static electricity.
ƒ
Leak detectors, put at ground level, will be
connected to an audible alarm, which will
trigger in the event of leaks.
ƒ
The whole equipment will be tested with an
appropriate leak detector before use.
ƒ
Material and electrical equipment in an
explosive atmosphere will comply with the
regulations (grounding, equipotential bonding,
ATEX material).
INVENTEC can study the set up and assembling of your storage tanks, piping, and pumps,
according to the prevailing regulations
