Packaging & storage
Packaging
180 kg steel drum (216.5 L), 1000 kg IBC tank or bulk by tanker
Storage
Store in original sealed packaging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and ignition sources. Keep isolated from acids, oxidising agents and copper/copper alloys. Storage temperature must be between +5°C and +30°C. Since it absorbs carbon dioxide to form carbonates, the packaging must be kept tightly closed.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of manufacture
