Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
2 years
Storage and Handling Conditions
  • Store the material in a clean, dry place at below 40C away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture.
  • Slight pH drop is possible over prolonged storage.
  • In case of drop in pH, it is fairly safe to use the material as long as the pH is > 7.0.
  • In the original sealed condition when stored as suggested, the shelf life of the product is at least two years.
  • Soft, easily breakable agglomerates may be formed on storage.
  • Since the material is hygroscopic in nature, use the product within a week after opening the bag.
  • During storage, to avoid lumping, do not stack more than 7 bags (non-palletized) one above the other and if palletized, keep single pallet on ground or in pigeon hole.
  • Jumbo bags should be stored only with crates and should not be stacked one above the other during storage
