Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • EPAMINE curing agent may absorb moisture and CO₂ if drums are not well closed.
  • EPAMINE curing agent should be stocked in a dry place at a temperature between 5 and 35°C; in this condition, shelf life is at least 1 year from the date of manufacture if in the original sealed container.
  • Lower temperature could bring increase in viscosity (reversible) and haziness.
  • EPAMINE curing agents and epoxy resin must be mixed just before application.
  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin, do not inhale vapours, wear protective clothes, glasses and gloves.
  • Use only with adequate ventilation.
