Storage & Handling

Storage: Recommended retest period is 365 days from the date of manufacture.

Store in a dry location. Do not store in open, unlabeled or mislabeled containers. Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not freeze. Mild, thorough mixing before use will help to ensure that the polymer is in its original homogenous state. Filter before use. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional pertinent information.
