Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Transportation
Transport must be carried out in conditions protected from direct exposure to heat or moisture.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Store in a cool place below 25°C, away from moisture and direct sunlight. If stored for a long period of time, precipitation of the thixotropic agent is possible. Therefore, before use, the resin should be homogenized (roll or shake the barrel, when stored in a container, mix with minimal air access). During this, the temperature of the resin must be above 18°C, otherwise the LSE system may separate and settle on the surface in the form of foam.
