Notes

¹ - Minor elements may arise from the raw materials used. However, these are firmly bound to the crystal lattice as ions.

² - Iron oxide yellow pigments contain a large amount of chemically bound water that is also recorded

³ - Colour values after matching of the tinting strength parameter Y, i.e. Δ L*=0

Storage & Handling

Storage and Shelf Life Conditions

General storage conditions: Protect against weathering. Store in a dry place and avoid extreme fluctuations in temperature.

Special conditions for opened packaging: Close bags after use to prevent the absorption of moisture and contamination.

Shelf life

  • This product has an excellent shelf life. It is recommended that this product is used within ten years of the date of manufacture and limit the product warranty to this period. 
  • During the first ten years after the date of manufacture we are able to ensure compliance with this specification, provided the material has been stored as stated above and the packaging materials remain undamaged. It must be taken into account that the packaging mean can have a shelf life considerably shorter than the one for this product.
  • All recommendations and warnings given on the packaging must strictly be adhered to. Deviations from storage conditions can lead to undesired changes on side of the packaging materials. These succumb to ageing which may also lead to compromising their capability. Concerning their estimated service life we differentiate between the following packaging materials:
  1. All kinds of bags (Paper and PE): 5 years
  2. All kinds of Bulk bag: 3 years
  • With respect to Bulk Bags it is recommend to avoid UV-radiation because the sewing material of the lifting loops is stabilized against degradation by UV-radiation for appr. 1000 h incident sun radiation for the climate of Central Europe. A more intense sun radiation can shorten this period significantly. In cases of doubt the lifting loops must be checked thoroughly.
