Storage & Handling

Storage, Stability and Handling Information
  • This product is easily handled under ordinary commercial conditions. It will remain clear if stored at 21°C or above.
  • When stored below this temperature, turbidity may develop but will disappear upon warming to 24°C. The presence of turbidity does not affect the surfactant’s efficacy.
  • Maximum storage temperature is 40°C. Heating equipment will be required if temperatures are expected to fall below 10°C.
