Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- Our silica products are inert and chemically extremely stable.
- However, due to their high specific surface area, they can adsorb moisture and volatile organic compounds from the surrounding atmosphere.
- Products have to be stored in their original packaging (e.g. fully shrink-wrapped) or in sealed containers in a dry place away (or apart) from volatile organic substances.
- Even if a product is stored in these conditions, it can still pick up ambient moisture after a long time, which can cause it to exceed the stated ex works moisture content.
- For this reason, our recommended use-by date is 24 months after date of manufacture.
- Product more than 24 months old should be tested for moisture content before use in order to make certain that it is still suitable for the intended application.
