CAP 18 ME is not regulated by US DOT, Canada TDG, UN, IMDG, or IATA regulations.
A respirator is normally NOT needed but, if mists are present, use a NIOSH-approved respirator or European Community (CE) approved dust or mist respirator for organic vapors.
Store in accordance with NFPA 30 requirements in the United States or the European Fire Protection Association in Europe for Class IIIB combustible liquids. Protect containers from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry area in closed containers. Keep away from heat and flames. Do not store near strong oxidizing agents.
Fires may be controlled and extinguished by using dry chemical, waterfog, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, or Type K fire extinguishers.
CAP 18 ME is a proprietary blend of long-chain fatty acids and methyl esters refined from natural vegetable oils and designed to be used in remediation projects. The addition of methyl esters to CAP 18 ME provides a more rapid onset of reductive dechlorination without sacrificing ease of injection, low cost, or long lifetime. The graphs below show laboratory microcosm test results for trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation and the change in the onset of action.
