- Storage Condition
BioPBS™ pellet is dried and packed in aluminum-lined packaging before delivering to customers. The recommended moisture content to prevent potential loss of properties is less than 200 ppm. Typical drying conditions are 80°C for at least 5 hours at a dew point of -40°C or lower. Do not store outdoors. Keep dry at ambient temperature. Avoid humid environment, heat and direct sunlight. Use material within 6 months after delivery date, in order to prevent possible material quality deterioration.
