- Storage Information
- Propylene Glycol - USP is a high - purity material, which must be handled with special precautions to avoid contamination. Under ordinary conditions, mild steel is a satisfactory material of construction. However, for long - term storage and where iron contamination and color are objectionable. Stainless steel or aluminum vessels are recommended.
- We define Shelf Life in terms of a product's conformance to sales specifications after a specified period of time. Using this as a guide, the product should retain its conformance to sales specifications for a period of at least two years after shipment, if the product is stored at less than 100° Fahrenheit in its undamaged, unopened, factory packaged container.
- In general, the user should determine the suitability of any chemical compound, no matter what the shelf life or length of time of storage. Each user should conduct a sufficient investigation to establish the suitability of any product for his intended use.
