Storage
The resin should be stored in a dry location with good housekeeping practices during storage, transferring and handling. Process enclosures and adequate ventilation should be used to avoid excessive dust accumulation. Resin should be protected from direct sunlight, temperatures above 40°C and high atmospheric humidity during storage. Higher storage temperatures may reduce the storage time. The container should be kept closed to prevent contamination. For the additional recommended storage conditions, please refer to SDS.
