Storage & Handling

Storage and Packaging

In original closed containers lasting at least 12 months at temperatures between 5-35°C. Stir well before use! Protect from frost! After long storage, particularly after usage of some of the product, evaporation of water is possible and visible signs of particles may be present. We therefore recommend filtration of the product before use.
