Packaging	Powder grades are supplied in airtight, moisture-proof packaging.
Storage	The product should be stored in its original packaging at all times. If bags or containers have been opened, they must then be sealed again to ensure proper further storage. Prolonged exposure of bags or containers containing Addigy® powders to light or light sources containing UV rays should be avoided. UV radiation will lead to degradation especially, but not limited color changes of the powders. Constant, normal room temperature with minimal fluctuations and low to normal humidity is essential.
Storage time	Covestro represents that, for a period of twenty-four months following the day of shipment as stated in the respective transport documents, the product will meet the specifications or values set forth in section "specifications or characteristic data" above, whatever is applicable, provided that the product is stored in full compliance with the storage conditions set forth in and referenced under section "storage" above and is otherwise handled appropriately. The lapse of the twenty-four months period does not necessarily mean that the product no longer meets specifications or the set values. However, prior to using said product, Covestro recommends to test such a product if it still meets the specifications or the set values. Covestro does not make any representation regarding the product after the lapse of the twenty-four months period and Covestro shall not be responsible or liable in any way for the product failing to meet specifications or the set values after the lapse of the twenty-four months period.
