Packaging
SILPURAN® is neither produced nor packed under sterile conditions, so the final product has to be sterilized prior to use, if necessary.
Storage
Please store the cardboard boxes in a dry and cool place. Once opened, cardboard boxes should always be resealed after use to avoid any contamination and to prevent the platinum catalyst from being poisoned by amines, sulphur or phosphorus compounds. The 'Best use before end' date of each batch is shown on the product label. Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
