This product is water-based and non-toxic under normal conditions.
Containers should be well sealed and stored at a temperature above freezing; a temperature of 5-35°C is recommended. Higher temperatures or a bad seal could affect quality and cause formation of crusts and skin on the surface of the emulsion. Make sure containers are tightly closed at all times and not subjected to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or heat for prolonged periods. If stored under correct conditions, this product is stable for at least one year.
