Storage & Handling

Shelf Life and Storage Conditions

HMF-AQ-45 has a shelf life of 6 months from the date of manufacture when stored in original, unopened containers at 20-25°C under dry conditions. At storage temperatures below 20°C shelflife will increase. As with all industrial chemicals this material should be stored in a covered, secure location and never in direct sunlight. Storage temperatures above the recommended range can shorten shelf life or lead to product degradation.
