- Storage Condition
Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: STEPANBLEND® ASF should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). STEPANBLEND® ASF may appear hazy or show phase separation if the product has been exposed to cold temperature along the supply chain. When crystallization occurs during storage, it is necessary to warm the drums up to 45°C-50°C (113°F-122°F) under stirring to re-homogenize it before use.
