    STORAGE

    To ensure maximum stability and maintain optimum resin properties, resins should be stored in closed containers
    at temperatures below 24°C/75°F and away from heat ignition sources and sunlight. Resin should be warmed to
    at least 18°C/65°F prior to use in order to assure proper curing and handling. All storage areas and containers
    should conform to local fire and building codes. Copper or copper containing alloys should be avoided as
    containers. Store separate from oxidizing materials, peroxides and metal salts. Keep containers closed when not
    in use. Inventory levels should be kept to a reasonable minimum with first-in, first-out stock rotation.

    Additional information on handling and storing unsaturated polyesters is available in Reichhold’s application
    bulletin “Bulk Storage and Handling of Unsaturated Polyester Resins.” For information on other Reichhold resins
    or initiators, contact your sales representative or authorized Reichhold distributor.
