Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- ARALDITE® LY 1564 should be stored in a dry place, the sealed original container, away from heat and humidity, at temperatures between 2°C and 40°C (35.6°F and 104°F). Under these storage conditions, the shelf life is 5 years. The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Like many liquid epoxy resins, ARALDITE® LY 1564 may crystallize when stored below room temperature. Heating the resin to 60-70°C (140-160°F), preferably in a water bath, for several hours, will reliquify it and restore its original properties.
- ARADUR® 3458 should be stored in a dry place, the sealed original container, away from heat and humidity, at temperatures between 2°C and 40°C (35.6°F and 104°F). Under these storage conditions, the shelf life is 3 years. The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
