Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information
Forzeas™ pellets are dried and packed in aluminum-lined packaging before delivering to customers.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Conditions
- Do not store outdoors. Keep dry at ambient temperature. Avoid humid environment, heat and direct sunlight.
- Use material as soon as possible after the delivery, in order to prevent possible material quality deterioration.
- Pre-dry of the unopened Forzeas™ is not necessary.
- It is recommended to keep packages sealed until ready to process and using up the whole 25-kg bag.
- Unused material should be tightly sealed, kept away from open air, and pre-dried (at 60 °C for over 5 hours).
