Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

AP 5978 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: 12 Months (15 to 30°C).
Hazardous decomposition products: (When in fire) Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides and other toxic Gases & Vapors.

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 and solvents & their vapor.
