- Storage & Handling Information
- Store the material in a clean and dry place at 20 - 30°C away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Product may become hazy and may show some precipitation when chilled ≤ 5°C. Gentle warming by keeping the HMHDPE carboys/IBC in hot room (not exceeding 35°C) with mixing should bring back the material to its original state.
- Avoid direct heating, mix it properly to make it uniform before use.
- On prolonged storage, product may undergo hydrolysis. The rate of hydrolysis depends on the temperature and pH. At temperatures above 30°C, hydrolysis may start and above 40°C, it is rapid. pH outside range of 5.0 - 7.0 will also accelerate the rate of hydrolysis.
- Once the HMHDPE Carboy/IBC is opened, ensure airtight closure after usage and use the product within a week.
- In the original sealed condition, when stored as suggested, the shelf life of the product is one year.
- During storage, stacking of HMHDPE carboys (palletized) should be 1+1 and Non-palletized HMHDPE carboys should not be stacked one above the other. For IBC stacking should be maximum 1+1
