Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • Armid DM10 should always be homogenized before use, unless the entire quantity is used. Armid DM10 is stable and under normal conditions does not corrode iron or steel.
  • Since most surfactants are slightly hygroscopic, they should be kept in closed containers to avoid unnecessary moisture pick-up.
  • Freezing and thawing of the product will not affect the physical and surface properties of the product. For warming up a heating chamber, water or steam bath could be used.
