Storage and Handling

To maintain optimal quality and performance, proper storage protocols must be followed. The product should be kept in its original unopened container at temperatures of 25℃ or below. Exposure to moisture should be minimized to prevent premature hydrolysis. The shelf life is typically one year from the date of production when stored under recommended conditions. Expired products may still be usable but must pass rigorous quality testing before application. As a Dangerous Goods Class 3 material, all transportation and handling procedures must comply with relevant safety regulations to ensure workplace safety and environmental protection.
