Storage Recommendations
Temperature: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Maintain temperatures between 15°C and 25°C to ensure chemical stability.
Packaging: Keep in tightly sealed, light-resistant containers. Piroctone Olamine is sensitive to UV exposure, which can cause discoloration of the raw material.
Shelf Life: Stable for 3 years from the date of manufacture when kept in original, unopened packaging and protected from environmental extremes.
Safety Note: Piroctone Olamine is generally considered low-toxicity and non-sensitizing at standard formulation concentrations. However, in concentrated raw form, it may cause mild eye irritation. Proper PPE, including gloves and safety goggles, should be worn during industrial handling.
