Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling
  • GP BKS-2603 resin is packaged in drums and as a heat-reactive resin, has a limited shelf life. Extended storage at high temperatures should be avoided to prolong the useful life of the resin. It is suggested that the resin be stored at or below 50°F (10°C) in order to optimize storage life. Storage life is dependent on your product’s formulation using GP BKS-2603 resin. This product should be stored and used in areas with good ventilation.
  • The proper personal protective equipment should be worn whenever GP BKS-2603 resin is used or handled. For safety and health information, please refer to the Safety Data Sheet for GP BKS-2603 resin available from Georgia-Pacific Chemicals.
