Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
- Our Natural Tartaric Acid is packed in 15 or 25 Kg bags of paper sewn on the top with an internal polyethylene bag thermowelded.
- Alternatively, it can be packed into big-bag of polypropylene internally coated with polyethylene weighing from 500 to 1500 Kg upon request.
- The bags are palletized and wrapped with shrinkable polyethylene. Each pallet is composed by product of the same batch.
- Every bag or big-bag is labeled with the law indications and the batch identifications. Other types of packaging are available upon request of the customer.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 5 years
- Storage and Shelf Life Information
- Our Natural Tartaric Acid is chemically stable, the shelf life is 5 years, but we recommend our customer to operate a good storage rotation, to avoid pallets double-stacking and anyway to reduce the storage time to less than 6 months in order to avoid the caking of the material.
- It must be kept in the original packing, in a dry cool place, avoiding to expose it to very hot or very cold temperatures and to direct sun light.
