Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Polypropylene resin should be stored to prevent a direct exposure to sunlight and heat. The Product es-timated shelf life is one year starting from production date, adequate humidity below 80%, and tempera-ture 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.
