7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Storage Precautions: Keep dry. No special storage or transport requirements.
Handling:
In the installation of Insulfrax Pumpable, the following handling and installation
procedures are recommended:
a) All installation practices should be designed to minimise
the liberation of any airborne fibre or dust.
b) In large installations of several days/weeks duration, the
installation area should be clearly designated and
barriers erected to limit access.
c) The Insulfrax Pumpable Materials should be stored in
sealed drums or similar containers until installation is to
proceed. These containers should be opened within the
designated work area when work is to start.
d) Where possible, materials should be delivered in sizes
such that a minimum of handling is required. However
when cutting or drilling is required, these should be
done with hand tools fitted with local exhaust
extraction.
e) Empty storage bags should be folded and stored in a
waste container along with any waste material.
f) Upon completion of the job, all excess materials should
be sealed in bags prior to removal from the designated
work area. The work area should be vacuumed using
an industrial vacuum cleaner. Wet mopping and wiping
can be utilised if an industrial vacuum cleaner is not
available.
In the removal of Insulfrax Pumpable materials the following procedures are
recommended:
a) All installation practices should be designed to minimise
the liberation of any airborne fibre or dust.

d) With prolonged operations above the recommended use
limit of 1000oC, a small proportion of Insulfrax may
transform to Wollastonite and disordered cristobalite
warranting higher levels of dust control and respiratory
protection.
