- Keep containers tightly closed after use.
- Once the carboy / IBC is opened, consume the product within a week.
- When taken in ISO container / tanker / flexi bags, it is recommended to transfer the material from ISO containers / tankers / flexi bags to sanitized SS storage tank with hot water jacket and also recommended that material be consumed within one month’s time, after unloading in storage tank.
- In the original sealed condition, when stored as suggested, shelf life of the product is at least one year.
- Slight pH drop is possible over prolonged storage. In case of drop in pH, it is fairly safe to use the material as long as the pH is ≥ 10.0.
- It is difficult to pump the material below 5°C.
- If the product becomes non - flowable due to cold condition, then it is recommended to heat the ISO container / tanker / flexi bag with hot water of temperature 55 - 60°C for two hours.
- Do not apply direct steam.
- If the product becomes frozen in IBC / HMHDPE carboys, then keep the same in hot room at 40°C.
- During storage, carboys (palletized / non - palletized) should not be stacked one above the other and for IBC, stacking should be maximum 1+1.
