Storage and Handling
  • DIAMMIN S-15 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks. It is suggested to keep the product at temperature below 40°C, it is preferable to avoid heating above 60°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize darkening phenomena.
  • DIAMMIN S-15 is a cloudy liquid at room temperature and it becomes homogeneous and transparent at about 30°C. DIAMMIN S-15 becomes a solid wax at tem perature lower than 0°C. Avoid also contact with strong oxidizers and strong acids. Shelf-life is 24 months from production date for product in its original and sealed packaging.a
