application
MAGALA ® BEM is used to manufacture Ziegler Natta catalysts for olefin polymerization reactions.
storage
MAGALA ® BEM heptane solution is stable under dry inert gas protection and away from heat sources. MAGALA ® BEM begins to slowly decompose at temperatures exceeding 150 ° C.
Packaging and transportation
MAGALA in mobile tank packaging is available worldwide ® BEM and its solution. Only in North America can car and train tank truck packaging be obtained
MAGALA ® BEM heptane solution. The packaging can is made of carbon steel and equipped with bottom insertion pipes for top unloading, with all connections located in the steam space section. Packaging and transportation comply with international regulations.
Security and Handling
MAGALA ® BEM heptane solution must be stored under dry inert gas protection, such as nitrogen or argon gas. Before coming into contact with alkyl metals, water in the production process must be carefully removed. Otherwise, it may cause an explosion. MAGALA ® BEM solution may ignite upon contact with air or water. The products of complete combustion of MAGALA ® BEM are magnesium oxide, carbon dioxide, and water.
