Storage & Handling

Shelf Life and Storage Conditions

HMF-CRY-95 has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in original, unopened containers at 4-8°C under dry conditions. 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.
