Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Polypropylene resin should be stored to prevent a direct exposure to sunlight and heat. The Product estimated shelf life is one year starting from production date, adequate humidity below 80%, and temperature below 40°C. Customers might not fully follow the optimal storage condition, hence the shelf lifeecommended at customer site is six months only as received.
