STIMULOX®

STIMULOX®

STIMULOX® aerobic biostimulant has been specifically manufactured for environmental applications such as remediation of soils and associated groundwater. This product can be used to stimulate natural degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX).  This is not a chemical oxidation product but rather a long term oxygen source with pH buffers and nutrients designed to create ideal conditions for aerobic bioremediation of petroleum based products

STIMULOX® is a proprietary blend of peroxygen chemicals and other compounds that slowly dissolve in groundwater, releasing oxygen, fixed nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and other nutrients to stimulate natural degradation.  Aerobic bioremediation is a successful remedial approach to petroleum-based contaminants.

HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INCOMPATIBILITY
STIMULOX® is stable when stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect from physical damage, direct sunlight, and heat sources. Product will decompose in storage under conditions of moisture and/or excessive heat, causing release of oxygen that may support combusiton. Maintain temperature below 100° F (37.8° C).

Spilled material should be swept up, place in DOT-approved, vented containers and isolated for disposal. Isolated material should be monitored for evidence of decomposition (fuming/smoking). If spilled material is wet, then dissolve completely with water.

Proper personal protective equipment includes safety glasses or goggles, gloves, an apron, and a dust respirator. Store in accordance with NFPA 430 requirements for Class I oxidizer. 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 deluging with water. Carbon dioxide or other gas-filled fire extinguishers have no effect on decomposing product. Refer to the MSDS for more information.
