Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 year
- Storage Information
- DPG is stable for at least one year when stored at ambient temperatures in closed containers and away from sunlight and other sources of UV light.
- Where product heating is utilized (bulk storage and/or transport containers) the product temperature should be controlled to prevent unintentional overheating over extended periods as this may potentially lead to accelerated oxidative degradation of the product.
- As a general guide do not heating above 40°C.
