Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Information
- Functional MH-4500 should be warmed to about 50°C (120°F) to facilitate pumping and handling.
- The base oil should be heated to 60-80˚C (140-180˚F) during blending to allow for good mixing.
- Mixing time will vary with equipment but is typically at least one hour
