Storage
- Storage in original sealed Covestro container. - Recommended storage temperature: 20 - 30 °C. - Protect from moisture, heat and foreign material. General information: The product is sensitive to moisture and should therefore be stored in tightly sealed containers. Storage at elevated temperatures will lead to an increase in viscosity and a reduction of the NCO content. Storage at low temperature - below 20°C - may lead to turbidity and crystalline separation. This process is reversible. By careful heating, up to max. 50°C, the product can be dissolved again. The product properties are not affected in this case.
Storage time
Covestro represents that, for a period of six months following the day of shipment as stated in the respective transport documents, the product will meet the specifications or values set forth in section "specifications or characteristic data" above, what ever is applicable, provided that the product is stored in full compliance with the storage conditions set forth in and referenced under section "storage" above and is otherwise handled appropriately.The lapse of the six months period does not necessarily mean that the product no longer meets specifications or the set values.
