Shelf Life Information

Recommended store at cool and dry conditions. Keep containers sealed as material is hygroscopic. Re-evaluation date is 12 months from date of manufacture, if storage conditions stated above are observed. IFF recommends that after the above re-evaluation date, the customer considers that loss on drying, pH and viscosity are tested to establish whether material is still within listed specification.
