Storage:
• Silway 593 should be stored in closed containers.
• When stored at temperatures below 11℃, Silway 593 will become hazy and solidify to a soft wax. This effect is reversed upon heating and is common to silicone glycol copolymers. Repeated freeze thaw cycles have no effect on product performance.
Shelf Life :
36 months
