Advice on Preventing SepiGEL 305 Solidification

Thank you for your question regarding SepiGEL 305. It is understandable that you are experiencing solidification when the product level is low in the container.

SepiGEL 305 is a liquid polymer dispersion. When the volume in the container decreases significantly, the increased air space can lead to faster evaporation of the liquid carrier or potential settling and aggregation of the polymer over time, especially if not stored optimally. This can result in the product becoming thicker or seemingly solidified at the bottom.

Based on the product information and general good practice for storing such ingredients, here are some recommendations to help prevent this issue:

• Always Close Tightly: Ensure the cap or lid is sealed very tightly after each use. This is crucial to minimize air exposure and prevent the evaporation of the liquid components.
• Proper Storage Conditions: Store the product at room temperature and protect it from direct sunlight and heat, as recommended in the product description.
• Shake/Mix Well Before Use: Continue to shake or mix the product thoroughly before each use, even when the amount is low. This helps to re-disperse any settled material.
• Consider a Smaller Container: If you have a significant amount remaining but it's at the bottom of a large container, consider transferring it to a smaller, airtight container. Reducing the headspace (the amount of air above the product) can help slow down evaporation and maintain the product's consistency.

By following these storage and handling tips, you can help maintain the quality and usability of SepiGEL 305 even when the container is nearly empty.
