Storage Information
  • Storage stability for at least: 12 months
  • Further information for storage: Keep in the original container in a cool well ventilated place. Store in a cool, temperature regulated location. Protect from heat. Keep container dry and tightly closed.
  • Conditions for storage rooms and vessels: Store under protective gas. Identify sites and escape routes by suitable signs.
  • Unsuitable material for storage containers, casks and pipelines: light metals and their alloys , iron , steel , zinc . Suitable material for storage containerts, casks and pipelines: glass , enamel , titanium . Test the suitability of materials for storage vessels, containers and piping.
  • Minimum temperature allowed during storage and transportation: 15 °C
  • Maximum temperature allowed during storage and transportation: 30 °C
  • Temperature limit based on safety considerations. A brief increase in temperature to max. 40 ° C does not affect the quality.
  • Storage beyond the recommended period does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
