Storage & Handling

Storage Recommendation

It is recommended that SYLVALITE RE 85GB rosin ester be stored and transported dry and below 20°C / 70°F. To prevent remassing, keep away from direct sun light or other sources of heat. Product stored or transported at higher temperatures should be evaluated for impact on performance before use. Due to its low Tg, do not stack pallets on top of each other during storage. Mild remassing or compaction of the product that is readily broken apart is not considered a basis for rejection of the flaked product.
