RemOx® S ISCO
RemOx® S ISCO
RemOx® S ISCO reagent has been specifically manufactured for environmental applications such as remediation of soils and associated groundwater. This product can be used to degrade a variety of contaminants including chlorinated solvents, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenolics, organo-pesticides, and substituted aromatics. RemOx® S is shipped with a certificate of analysis (COA) to document assay, insolubles, weight loss, and trace metals.

DESCRIPTION
Crystals or granules are dark purple with a metallic sheen, sometimes with a dark bronze-like appearance. RemOx S ISCO Reagent has a sweetish, astringent taste and is odorless.
HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INCOMPATIBILITY
Protect containers against physical damage. When handling RemOx S respirators should be worn to avoid irritation of, or damage to, mucous membranes. Eye protection should also be worn when handling RemOx S as a solid or in solution.
RemOx S is stable and will keep indefinitely if stored in a cool, dry area in closed containers. Concrete floors are preferred to wooden decks. To clean up spills and leaks, follow the steps recommended in the MSDS. Be sure to use goggles, rubber gloves, and respirator when cleaning up a spill or leak.
Avoid contact with acids, peroxides, and all combustible organic or readily oxidizable materials including inorganic oxidizable materials and metal powders. With hydrochloric acid, chlorine gas is liberated. RemOx S is not combustible, but it will support combustion. It may decompose if exposed to intense heat.
Fires may be controlled and extinguished by using large quantities of water. Refer to the MSDS for more information.
SHIPPING
RemOx S is classified by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Board (HMTB) as an oxidizer. It is shipped under Interstate Commerce Commission’s (ICC) Tariff 19.
Proper Shipping Name: Potassium Permanganate
(RQ-100/45.4)
Hazard Class: Oxidizer
Identification Number: UN 1490
Label Requirements: Oxidizer
Packaging Requirements: 49 CFR Parts 100 to 199
Sections: 173.152, 173.153, 173.194
Shipping Limitations:
Minimum quantities:
Rail car: See Tariff for destination
Truck: No minimum
Postal regulations:
Information applicable to packaging of oxidizers for shipment by the U.S. Postal Service to domestic and foreign destinations is readily available from the local postmaster. United Parcel Service accepts 25 lbs as largest unit quantity properly packaged; (consult United Parcel Service). Regulations concerning shipping and packing should be consulted regularly due to frequent changes.
CORROSIVE PROPERTIES
RemOx S is compatible with many metals and synthetic materials. Natural rubbers and fibers are often incompatible. Solution pH and temperature are also important factors. The material must be compatible with either the acid or alkali also being used.
In neutral and alkaline solutions, RemOx S is not corrosive to iron, mild steel, or stainless steel; however, chloride corrosion of metals may be accelerated when an oxidant such as permanganate is present in solution. Plastics such as polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride Type I (PVC I), epoxy resins, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), Penton, Lucite, Viton A, and Hypalon are suitable. Teflon FEP and TFE, and Tefzel ETFE are best. Refer to Material Compatibility Chart.
Aluminum, zinc, copper, lead, and alloys containing these metals may be (slightly) affected by RemOx S solutions. Actual studies should be made under the conditions in which permanganate will be used.
APPLICATIONS
RemOx S is used for soil and groundwater remediation by in-situ or ex-situ chemical oxidation and as an active agent in subsurface reactive barriers for treatment of: Chlorinated ethenes, phenolic compounds, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, TNT, RDX, HMX, and various pesticides.
