Technical Details & Test Data
- Sampling Instructions
- The product is packed under dry nitrogen with positive pressure of nitrogen inside the drum.
- The quality of the product deteriorates very fast if exposed to atmosphere even for a brief period.
- While sampling, please ensure that the sample is taken out under dry nitrogen in a preweighed stoppered bottle and analysis is done immediately.
- After sampling, close the container securely after putting positive nitrogen pressure in the drum. This is very important so that the product does not deteriorate on storage.
