Storage and Handling Conditions

Store Galaxy™ MW 252 (16)-MB in a clean, dry place at 30 - 40°C away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture.
Keep the container tightly closed after use, as the product is hygroscopic. In original sealed condition, if stored as suggested, shelf life of the product is two years.
Once HMHDPE carboy / IBC is opened, consume the product within a week.
When taken in ISO container/ tanker, it is recommended that material be consumed within one month’s time, after unloading in storage tank.
If the material is stored below 15°C, then it may become hazy or semi - solid. It is recommended to heat the jacketed ISO container/ jacketed tanker / insulated tanker with hot water of 70 - 80°C (4 - 8 hours) or low pressure steam (< 1 kg / cm⊃2 ) to bring the temperature of the product to 30 - 40°C.
Avoid direct heating. If the product freezes in IBC / HMHDPE carboys then keep the same in hot room of 50°C for around 2 days.
Heating time may vary. Once it is in molten stage, mix it properly to make it uniform before use.
If material is not melted properly / not uniform, there is a possibility of improper sampling. Avoid part quantity use. It can also be stored in a clean and dry SS storage tank.
During storage, HMHDPE carboys (palletized / non-palletized) / IBC should not be stacked one above the other.
