Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- Store Elotex® redispersible polymer powder in a cool, dry place in original packaging at temperatures not exceeding 25 °C and process within six months after the date of delivery. When storing Elotex® products avoid higher stacking of the goods to minimize pressure on the product and avoid storing in contact with moisture or heat, or in containments open for an extended period, as this may result in blocking of the powder. If the product is stored for longer than six months after the date of delivery, users are advised to evaluate properties required for the intended use.
- Elotex® redispersible polymer powders can be blended in all commercial mixers with other dry additives to produce finished products in powder form. Since Elotex® redispersible polymer powders exhibit thermoplastic behaviour, mixing times should be as short as possible, and significant temperature increases caused by strong shear forces should be avoided. All hydraulically and non- hydraulically curing dry mixtures with Elotex® redispersible polymer powder can be easily mixed with water before application.
