Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • AP 3052 should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container at temperatures 15 to 30°C.
  • The Product should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight.
Handling Information

The hardener will absorb moisture and carbon dioxide when left in open containers. This may result in increased viscosity and sometimes crystallization. Use personal protective equipments and follow industrial hygienic procedures. Recommended to use safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves, & masks suitable for chemical, solvents & their vapor.
