Storage

At temperatures below 18°C TEGO® Care LTP starts to become turbid. When the product is brought back to room temperature it is again a clear, yellow liquid. The emulsifying ability is not affected by a possible turbidity of the product.
As TEGO® Care LTP is getting pasty at temperatures below 15°C, it is recommended to use processing temperatures above 16°C for better handling and dosage of the emulsifier.

Handling

Use Level:1.5 - 2.5 %
