Technical Details & Test Data

Sample 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, tie the bag securely with a thread, put positive nitrogen pressure in the drum and tighten it properly. This is very important so that the product does not deteriorate on storage.
