Paint Storage and Handling |
|
|
|
Water-based paint may freeze at low temperatures. It is no longer usable if frozen. | |
|
|
Avoid direct sunlight and store in a low humidity area with a temperature range of 41?95 °F (5?35 °C). In areas where the temperature drops below 41 °F (5 °C) a heated storage area may be required. | |
|
|
The ideal storage temperature is the same as for painting 68?77 °F (20?25 °C). | |
|
|
In order to avoid paint quality deterioration due to corrosion, store the paint in plastic containers, or steel ones with anti-corrosion coating. | |
|
|
Water-based paint is highly resistant to pigment and resin separation, but always stir it thoroughly before use. | |
|
|
There is no special fire prevention precautions when using water- based paint. Its ignition point is much higher than solvent-based paint. | |
|
|
Handling and storage methods may differ depending upon paint type. Refer to product spec issued by the paint manufacturer. | | | |
