Handling & storage

The product is a non-perishable, nonhygroscopic product and is not sensitive to freezing. It should be stored under dry and clean conditions between -10°C and 50°C. High pressure on the packed material should be avoided in order to prevent lumping. Handling of the product is convenient in terms of flowability, dusting and ease of incorporation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

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