Storage & Handling

Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
  • LOTADER® 4503 is usually packed in waterproof bags or rigid containers with waterproof liner. It should be stored in dry conditions and be kept out of moisture in an aerated building.
  • Improper storage conditions may cause degradation and could have consequences on physical properties of the product. It is recommended to reseal the bag or the liner after use to protect LOTADER® 4503 against moisture.
  • Shelf life is three years from the date of delivery, in unopened packaging.
