TAED AGGLOMERATES ALL GRADES

RAW MATERIAL HANDLING
OBJECTIVE

This standard covers the storage and handling of the materials listed above. The information here within is important
and should be followed for reasons of safety and quality. This standard applies to any P&G site using the materials
listed above.
For safety specifics and detailed chemical behaviour of the material, the appropriate supplier’s MSDS (Material Safety
Data Sheet) should be referred to.
This standard serves to form the basis for more detailed plant specific standard operating procedures and
manufacturing standards.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
CAS number: 10543-57-4; EINECS number: 2341238;
Industrial Hygiene Data Sheet (IHDS) Number 000051
TAED agglomerates are produced by a process that uses Schugi and/or Loedige type agglomeration equipment to
incorporate TAED in to an agglomerate form with binder materials.
TAED extrudates are produced using a twin screw extruder, again with relevant binder materials. The particles are
incorporated into detergent finished product by dry mixing.

P&G Applications
TAED is used as a bleach activator in granular detergents (this include laundry applications as well as automatic dish
washing applications).

STORAGE & HANDLING

Unloading
TAED particles are frangible and will break up during vigorous handling. For this reason pneumatic transfer systems
are not recommended. The TAED agglomerates are prone to break-up.

issue 3
A bulk bag simulation test is recommended to assess likely caking in big bags if TAED particles are being introduced
for the first time into plants located in areas of high ambient temperature (above 30°C).

GENERAL
1. A storage time of 24 months is the recommended maximum for routine operations.
2. However, extended storage is possible if required for a specific project. Before use, re-check analysis is required for
all the quality items as specified on the TAED particles 'raw material specification' (RMS) these results must be
reviewed with the TMO.
3. Store in a cool, dry place. Maximum storage temperature is 40°C to minimise caking and lumping
4. Store in original big bags and keep sealed. Big bags must be protected from moisture ingress, otherwise lumping
and caking will occur. For plants where outside storage is used, bags must be protected (e.g. polythene shrouds).
5. Handle carefully to avoid break-up or compaction.

BULK HANDLING: Not Permitted

Bulk delivery is not used for TAED. Only Big Bags are approved for TAED shipments. Please use big bags of type B.

BULK HANDLING: SILOS and TRANSFER LINES

Particles can not be transferred using a pneumatic transfer system because of risk of particles break-up. Increase in
fines as a consequence of break-up can have an adverse effect on patchy fabric damage.
(Historical testing carried out at Clyde Engineering in September 1999 confirmed break up
when using continuous dense phase pneumatic transfer.)

Storage / Handling
1. TAED particles are to be stored in dry, clean big bags. Storage should be indoors. If outside storage is used the bag
MUST be protected from water ingress by using a polythene shroud or similar.
2. Maximum bag weight is 1.2tn.
3. Big bags of TAED particles may be double stacked
4. Each big bag of TAED particles must be labelled with the RMS number, product name TAED particles, supplier
name and address and Activity value. Additional information may be required, as per RMS guidelines.
5. Wear personal protective equipments.
6. Avoid Contamination with water / moisture, organic matter, decomposition catalyst.
7. Do not store together with acids, alkalis, reducing agents, metallic salts.
8. Do not re-use spilled or soiled product.
9. Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).
10. Protect from sunlight, warmth and heat.
11. Keep away from flammable sources.
12. Where bags or super sacks are used these must be stored indoors protected from exposure to direct sunlight and
rain.

IN-PROCESS CONTROL AND MONITORING

1. In general, there are no specific requirements above those for normal raw material powders.
2. TAED particles must be delivered with a certificate of analysis. This confirms fitness for use as shipped from the
supplier.
3. The receiving plant may wish to re-check analysis on receipt. Critical quality items and analytical methods are
specified on the 'Raw material specification' (RMS) for the TAED particles.

4. Transfer time, feeder addition rate, output and variability is measured by the plant as
required and in-line with standard procedures.
5. TAED is dust explosive. The hopper volume should be < 2m3 to avoid the need for explosion venting. TAED should
be delivered in type B bags due to the lower MIE (minimum ignition enrgy of 8 – 10 mJ).

REFERENCES FOR EMERGENCY AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the TAED agglomerate or extrudate. This data sheet contains detailed and
specific information on toxicology, hazard identification, first aid measures, exposure controls, physical and chemical
properties and disposal procedures.

SHELF-LIFE

A storage time of 24 months from production is the recommended maximum for routine operations. Re-testing is
recommended after this time. This 24 months shelf life is inline with all our TAED suppliers and backed up by stability
test results from suppliers.
