Storage & Handling

Handling Instructions

The effects of extreme temperatures (cold, heat) may cause the product become turbid, viscous, cogeal or separate. In such cases mixing at normal temperatures (i.e. room temperature) will restore the product for use. Like all alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers, NOVELUTION 350 forms freeflowing or solid gels when water is added in certain concentration ranges. To prevent lumping and gelling, it is thus advisable to add NOVELUTION 350 to the water, use warm water and stir well.
