RECOMMENDED STORAGE
Typical storage life at temperature below 25 0C is 3 months. The resin should be stirred prior to use.
To ensure maximum stability and maintain optimum resin properties, avoid exposure to heat sources such
as direct sunlight and steam pipes. The resin should be stored in closed container below 25 0C and properly
sealed to avoid moisture pick-up and monomer loss. It is strongly recommended to mix thoroughly before
use.
