Storage recommendations
How to store lagging:
- Stock usage based on a first-in first-out method (FIFO).
- The storage room for lagging must be cool, dry and dust-free.
- Avoid storage places near sources of ozone generating equipment.
- Do not store outside.
- Avoid storage in direct sunlight and strong artificial light as UV light can damage the products and may lead to a premature ageing.
- Under no circumstances should fuels, lubricants, acids, disinfectants, solvents or other chemicals be stored in the same storage area.
- Keep the storage place clean. Protect the material from dust, water etc. with suitable coverings.
- Allow 24 hours before use when lagging is removed from cold storage.
