- Storage Details
Store product in a dry and cool place, away from heat and out of the sun. Once package is opened, consume within reasonable time. Store opened and unused packages after adequate re-sealing to avoid contamination and moisture ingress. Shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture.. Luctocel solutions, however, although more resistant to microbial attack than most other water soluble polymers, should be protected by adequate preservatives when storage time shall exceed 24 hours. Luctocel is compatible with most commonly used preservatives.

- Solution Preparation
A number of factors such as solvent, choice of polymer and shear rate affect dispersion and dissolution of Luctocel. Luctocel is readily soluble in cold and hot water. Rapid dissolution requires even dispersion of Luctocel particles in the aqueous medium. For that reason, intense agitation of the solution is necessary when introducing Luctocel. Insufficient dispersion will cause lumps. Pre-blending Luctocel with other dry ingredients or pre-suspending it in glycerine, ethanol, or propylene glycol facilitates the preparation of Luctocel solutions.
