Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 2.5 Years
- Storage & Handling Information
- Store the material in a clean, dry place at 20 - 40°C, away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Keep the container tightly closed after use.
- Since product is hygroscopic in nature, moisture content may increase if exposed to atmosphere.
- In original sealed condition, when stored as suggested, shelf life of the product is at least 2.5 years.
- Once carboy / IBC is opened, consume the product within a week.
- When taken in ISO container, it is recommended that material be consumed within one month’s time, after unloading in storage tank.
- Product solidifies, if stored below 14°C for prolonged time.
- If solidifies, it is recommended to heat the jacketed ISO containers with hot water or steam with 1.0 - 1.5 kg / cm2 pressure to bring the temperature of product to 30 - 40°C.
- If the product becomes frozen in IBC / HMHDPE carboys then keep the same in hot room of 30 - 40°C (avoid direct heating).
- During storage, stacking should be maximum 1+1 for IBC / HMHDPE carboys (palletized as well as non - palletized).
