Storage & Handling
- Storage Condition
Forzeas™ pellets are dried and packed in aluminum-lined packaging before delivering to customers. 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).
