Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • AP5551 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.
  • Shelf Life (15 to 30°C),12 months
  • Hazardous decomposition products (When in fire) Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides and other toxic Gases & Vapors.
Handling Information

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