Storage & Handling
- Handling
Brasmide R 40 must get in contact with the epoxy resins only at the moment of its use. After the mixing one must wait the induction period (variable according to the formulation) before the application.
- Storage
Keep in the original package. closed. Store it in a covered, dried, and well-ventilated room.
- Validity
It keeps the original characteristics for 2 years if stored in the above recommended way.
