Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information

Araldite® LY 3516 must be stored between 2 and 8 °C in sealed containers. Storage at higher temperatures may adversely affect properties. Maximum temperature this product should be subjected to while thawing for use should not exceed 40°C. Never store Araldite® LY 3516 in warm areas, particularly near heat sources or hot equipment, or even in direct sunlight, because violent exothermic reaction or explosion may result. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
