Shelf Life:
The inks and varnishes of this series have under normal conditions a shelf life of at least 6 months.
Normal Conditions means:
Storage in tightly closed containers.
No admixtures
Temperature not exceeding 25 degree C for weeks or 30 degree C for days
Short time excessive-temperatures e.g. at transport are not harmful. The products are not sensitive to frost.
“Over-stored” inks (typical symptoms: fall in gloss, shift in shade, formation of odor and / or viscosity increase) may normally – off color being exceptions - be used the same way as residual inks by controlled admixture to fresh inks.
Increased viscosity due to long-time storage of inks may generally be adjusted by addition of a slightly higher amount of thinner than the usual.
