Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
Ascorbic acid bulk materials are packed in two plastic bags, and the inner plastic bag is thermal sealed, the outer plastic bag is blue and thermal sealed. Then pack in a carton box (or drum), sealed with adhesive tape (or lead sealing).
Storage & Handling
- Stability
Ascorbic acid powder is nonvolatile stable in the dry state, however, upon exposure to atmospheric moisture; it can deteriorate, and oxidizes readily to aqueous solution. Contact with iron, copper or nickel salts should be avoided.
- Storage Information
- Store in a non-metallic and sealed container, keep in a dry place and away from light.
- At least 36 months from date of manufacturing provided the container is unopened and stored under the above-mentioned conditions.
