Protection of electrical and electronic components when handling AdBlue
AdBlue leads to corrosion of electrical and electronic components. For this reason, all
electrical and electronic components in the vicinity must be covered to avoid contact
with AdBlue during performance of any tasks in which AdBlue could leak out.
Storage and packaging
In order to avoid crystal precipitation, it is recommended to store AdBlue under normal
conditions (optimally at up to 25°C). In order to avoid negative effects upon the qual-
ity due to contamination, AdBlue should only be handled via storage and filling sys-
tems designed for such purposes. Suitable container materials include alloyed steel,
aluminium, various plastics as well as plastic coated metal containers. Non-suitable
for this purpose are unalloyed steels, copper, copper containing alloys and zinc-plated
steels.
