5. PACKING AND STORAGE
25 kilogram paper bag or PE bag; Stored in a cool dry indoor place at temperature of
-20°C-35°C, Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight. In the above-mentioned storage
conditions the shelf life of resins for 1 year. Experience has shown that the storage life of the
resin up to 3 years, it is proposed that the testing products beyond the shelf-life products can still
be used for qualified.
The above-mentioned indications are based on carefully made tests. No liability can be assumed
in the event of any inaccuracy or incompleteness being found in the value listed above and
consequently we recommend evaluation in your own laboratories prior to use.
