Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

AP 1057 should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container at temperatures 5 to 30°C. The Product should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight.

  • Shelf life: 12 Month (5 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 & carbon dioxide when left in open containers. This may result in increased viscosity & sometimes crystallization. The product may shows fumes in presence of high humidity (>40% RH) and in acidic environment. Use personal protective equipments & follow industrial hygienic procedures. Recommended to use safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves, & masks suitable for chemical and solvents & their vapor.
