Handling & storage

Keep away from direct sunlight. Overheating of an ethoxylate stored under air should be avoided. When an ethoxylate is vigorously mixed in the presence of air or oxygen at temperatures > 125°F (> 50°C), it can degrade product quality. Storage under an inert atmosphere is recommended. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. Product is freeze-thaw stable; if it phase separates or freezes at colder temperatures, warm container to 40°C and mix thoroughly before use.

When stored in an original unopened packaging, the product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
