6.7. Previous cargoes and cleanliness
Contact your Styrene Monomer supplier for an up to date list of substances which should not be have been loaded to a tank in the 2 previous shipments.
Tanks to be loaded with Styrene Monomer should not be cleaned with
materials which are reactive with Styrene Monomer or TBC, or cause
increased colour, odour or a chloride problem. Salt water should never
be the last wash because of possible chloride contamination.
Because of the effect of the application of heat to styrene, steam
cleaning of adjacent tanks to compartments which contain styrene or
styrene residues is strictly not allowed.
