Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life and Storage Condition
- Citric Acid Anhydrous may be stored for 36 months from the date of manufacture in the unopened original packaging (bags and big bags).
- A relative humidity of 50% and a temperature range of 10 – 30 °C are the most suitable conditions for storage.
- Temperatures above 40 °C and a relative humidity above 70% should be avoided in order to prevent caking, especially the Fine Granular 51 N and 16/40 and Powder forms. The stacking of the Fine Granular 51 N and 16/40 and Powder forms for long periods is not recommended.
- Stability tests have shown that citric acid anhydrous is chemically stable for at least five years in tightly closed packaging under proper storage conditions.
