Storage And Handling
  • LORODAC 9-24 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 yellowish phenomena.
  • LORODAC 9-24 is a paste at room temperature and it becomes a solid wax at temperature lower than 25°C. Improvement of appearance and handling at low temperature can be achieved by mixing the product with 10 weight% water.
  • At room temperature LORODAC 9-24 is water soluble up to 25 weight%.
  • Shelf-life is 36 months from production date for product in its original and sealed packaging
