Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

Heat Stability:

The pigment’s resistance to light and heat is good under most conditions. The colorant will precipitate in acidic conditions, but acid-stable forms of the colorant are available.

Storage Conditions:

  • Store in a cool, dark, dry place, tightly sealed in its original container. Avoid exposure to heat or direct light. As the container is emptied, and if stored for longer periods of time is anticipated, it may help to transfer the contents from the original container to a clean, opaque container of a suitable size to minimize exposure to oxygen in the headspace of the container.
  • Shelf life: When stored under recommended conditions, 12 months minimum.
