Storage
Oceanic HW740 R should be stored in dry conditions, ideally out of direct sunlight. Normal storage temperature range is 5 to 40°C.
Material Compatibility
Oceanic HW740 R contain performance additives which ensure high levels of compatibility with materials typically used in subsea production control equipment. Extensive material compatibility tests have been performed with Oceanic HW740 R.
| Ferrous metals (cast iron, carbon steel, low & high alloy steels, stainless steels…) | Compatible |
| Non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, bronze and other metals and alloys*)… | Compatible with alloys typically used in subsea production control equipment. Avoid Zn, Cd, Pb and Mg metals. Aluminium should be hard anodised. |
| Coatings and ceramic materials | Avoid porous coatings. Compatible with most ceramic parts. Check ceramic coatings. |
| Packaging & sealing materials (elastomers and thermoplastics*) | Compatible with standard NBR, HNBR, FFKM, VMQ/FMVQ, CR, TFE/PTFE, PEEK. Some FKM & AU/EU/PU have proven to be incompatible. |
| Umbilical hose liner thermoplastics | Compatible with Nylon 11, PE and Polyether ester copolymers. |
| Absorbent gasket materials | Avoid cork, leather, cotton impregnated materials. |
| Paints | Avoid painting internal surfaces Cured epoxy, phenolic and nylon based paints are satisfactory. Avoid less resistant paints as they soften. Wash spillages immediately with water. |
| Filter elements | Polypropylene and glass fibre filter elements recommended over paper filters. |
