Regulatory & Compliance
- Food Regulations
This product is defined as a preparation under specific food contact regulation. Detailed information will be provided in a relevant document "Regulatory Compliances Product Declaration" upon request.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Polypropylene resin should be stored to prevent a direct exposure to sunlight and heat. The Product esti mated shelf life is one year starting from production date, adequate humidity below 80%, and temperature below 400 C. Customers might not fully follow the optimal storage condition, hence the shelf life recommended at customer site is six months only as received.
