Glyceryl Rosinate (Food)

Storage

• Environmental & Temperature Control:
  • Specified Temperature Range: Store within the specific temperature range recommended on the product's Technical Data Sheet (TDS) or by the supplier, typically in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme heat or cold to prevent polymerization or crystallization.
  • Moisture Protection: Resins, especially moisture-curing types, are highly sensitive to humidity. Always store in a dry environment, away from moisture.
  • Light Protection: Avoid direct sunlight and strong light exposure to prevent UV-induced polymerization or degradation.
  • Good Ventilation: Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of harmful vapours or odours.
• Container Management & Sealing:
  • Sealed Containers: Resins must be stored in their original, tightly sealed containers. Once opened, use as quickly as possible or re-seal securely to prevent air and moisture ingress.
  • Inert Gas Protection: For certain oxygen-sensitive resins, it's advisable to purge the container with dry inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) before re-sealing after opening.
  • Clear Labelling: Ensure all containers are clearly labelled with product name, batch number, production date, and expiry date.
• Safety & Isolation:
  • Keep Away from Ignition Sources: The storage area should be away from heat, sparks, open flames, and all sources of ignition, especially for flammable resins.
  • Avoid Incompatibles: Avoid co-storage with hardeners, accelerators, or other incompatible chemicals to prevent unintended reactions.
  • Grounding: For flammable liquid resins, ensure equipment used for storage and transfer is earthed to prevent static build-up.
• Handling & Inspection:
  • Careful Handling: Handle resins with care, avoiding vigorous shaking or tipping.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check containers for leaks, damage, or bulging. After prolonged storage, always check the resin's quality (e.g., viscosity, appearance) before use to ensure it meets requirements.
• Compliance & Emergency Preparedness:
  • Regulatory Compliance: Strictly comply with all national and local safety and environmental regulations.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Have necessary emergency equipment (e.g., absorbent materials, fire extinguishers) on hand and ensure emergency plans are in place for spills, fires, etc.
