Storage & Handling

Storage Information
  • ARALDITE® GY 281 MBC should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container, at temperatures between 2 and 40°C.
  • The product should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight. ARALDITE® GY 281 does not crystallize under normal conditions.
  • Heating to 60°C eliminates crystallization.
  • Crystallization can be excluded by adding a bisphenol-A epoxy resin in the proportion of at least 25%.
