Storage & Handling
- Shelf life (at storage temperature between 10-40°C)
- 6 years
- Storage
This product has a minimum shelf life of four years when stored in unopened sealed containers in a dry location at room temperature. Like liquid epoxy resins, Araldite® GY 6020 may crystallize when stored below room temperature. Heating the resin to 60–70oC (140– 160oF), for several hours will re-liquefy it and restore its original properties.
