Store in a cool and dry place. At 20ᴼC it may be stored for about 3 months and for shorter duration at higher temperatures depending on the initial viscosity. The limiting factor is the viscosity which will increase as a function of time. The rate of viscosity increase is dependent on temperature, and consequently the storage time will be related to the temperature at which the resin is stored.
If the storing conditions are extremely unfavorable the resin may gelatinize in the drums and will thus be unfit for use.

Store the AL 1000P in a cool place protected from the heat. Heat and moisture will cause powder to harden thus rendering it useless.
Glue mix viscosity and gel time are expected to increase and decrease respectively when AL 1000P approaches end of storage life. Under such circumstances, the amount of water added to the glue mix should be increased to a maximum of 65 parts by weight. (Note: recommended glue mix). Storage life at 20 - 30°C: 6 months
