Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 2 Years
- Storage & Handling Information
- Store the material in a clean, dry place at 30 - 40°C away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture.
- Keep the container tightly closed after use and if not stored properly; it can lead to increase in moisture content of the product as the product is hygroscopic in nature.
- Once carboy / drum / IBC is opened, consume the product within a week.
- When taken in ISO container / Jacketed tanker, it is recommended that material be consumed within one month’s time after unloading in storage tank.
- In original sealed container, when stored as suggested, shelf life of the product is at least two years.
- If the material is stored below 30°C, then it may become hazy or semi - solid.
- If the product becomes frozen in IBC / HMHDPE carboys / drums, then keep the same in hot room of 50°C for around 2 days.
- It is recommended to heat the ISO tanks / Jacketed tanker with hot water jacket of 70 - 80°C (4 - 8 hours) or low pressure steam (< 2 kgs / cm2 ) to bring the temperature of the product to 30 - 40°C.
- Avoid direct heating.
- Heating time may vary.
- Once it is in molten stage, mix it properly to make it uniform before use.
- If the material is not melted properly / not uniform, there is possibility of improper sampling.
- Avoid part quantity use.
- It can also be stored in a clean and dry SS storage tank.
- During storage, HMHDPE carboys (palletized / non - palletized) / IBC should not be stacked one above the other
