STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Store in a stable configuration. Avoid contact with corrosive agents such as acids, alkalies and salts. Transport in accordance with Government Regulations and always ensure load is secure.

SPILLS AND DISPOSAL
Recycle scrap steel or dispose at an approved site. Fire/Explosion hazard: Irritant fumes may be produced during a fire situation. Decomposition products include oxides of carbon.
When ALLGAL® is being handled, care must be taken to protect the coating. If the coating does become damaged then the area should be cleaned and touched up with a zinc rich paint.

The product should be stored in a dry place. This is essential if the product is to be stored in packs. If ALLGAL® has to be stored outside then the packs should be broken up and stacked with a wooden space between each layer. The stack should be on an incline so that any water can run off the tube.

If rust is observed on the product then it should be removed and a zinc rich paint should be applied to the area. White rust can be removed with a high pressure water cleaner, scrubbing brush or soft scouring pad. Kerosene is also a good agent for the removal of white rust. However, red rust must be removed with a wire brush or sandpaper.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Store in a stable configuration. Transport in accordance with Government Regulations and always ensure load is secure.

When Zinc and Aluminised product is being handled, care must be taken to protect the coating.
With zinc coating, attention should be paid to the conditions of transport and storage to avoid the possibility of wet-storage stain. A corrosion product known as "white rust" can occur on freshly zinc coated products that are transported or stored under damp and/or badly ventilated conditions. The attack is frequently superficial despite the bulkiness of the corrosion product and may be unattractive, but is not usually detrimental to the other properties of the coating.

The packed product should be kept under clean, dry and ventilated conditions. This is especially important for products in the lower size range as their bundle configuration restricts natural ventilation.
The storage under covers which restrict ventilation (eg tarps) is not recommended.
Products should never be stored in contact with cardboard or paper products, cinders, clinkers, unseasoned timbers or harmful chemicals.

If the zinc coating is subject to excessively rough treatment and some damage does occur small areas may be renovated by the application of one of the following coatings:-

• - organic zinc-rich primer
• or - in-organic zinc silicate paint
• or - zinc metal spray

These coatings are to be applied in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.
