Atmosphere Nitrogen
JEFFAMINE® ED-2003 polyetheramine may be stored under air at ambient temperatures for extended
periods. A nitrogen blanket is suggested for all storage, however, to reduce the effect of accidental
exposure to high temperatures and to reduce the absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide. It
should be noted that pronounced discoloration is likely to occur at temperatures above 140°F (60oC),
whatever the gaseous pad.
Cleanout of lines and equipment containing JEFFAMINE ED-2003 polyetheramine can be accomplished
using warm water and steam. In the event of spillage of this product, the area may be flushed with water.
The proper method for disposal of waste material is by incineration with strict observance of all federal,
state, and local regulations.
