- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
FILCO® 354N should be stored in closed containers away from direct sun rays, at temperature between +5 and +30°C. In these conditions maximum suggested storage time is 15 months from production, in the original package. After that date product must be rechecked.Prevent from freezing. Always observe suggested storage temperature range.Thoroughly mix before use. Depending on transport and/or storage conditions, formation of surface aggregates may sometimes be observed; this can easily be eliminated by stirring before use
