Influence of temperature in storage and/or transport
In the technical documentation for of all Den Braven’s products the minimum shelf life after production is given as between +5°C and +25°C. When products are stored in higher temperatures this will shorten their shelf life. A maximum temperature of +45°C can be maintained. Above this temperature problems might occur. For instance, too much pressure may build up in canisters of PU foam. In neutral silicone sealants the chemical reactions can be changed.
