How should orris absolute be transported and stored?
Orris absolute must be protected from heat, light, air and moisture:
- Storage: sealed container, in a cool (15–25°C), dry, dark place away from direct sunlight and strong odors
- Transportation: insulated packaging; avoid extended exposure above 40°C or below 0°C
- Handling: warm gently to 30–40°C in a water bath before dispensing; never heat above 50°C
- Shelf life: 36 months from production under recommended storage
Storage & Handling
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 15–25°C storage; 30–40°C for dispensing |
| Light | Keep in amber container, dark storage |
| Headspace | Nitrogen-flushed, sealed after each use |
| Shelf life | 36 months (sealed) |
- Repeated heating-cooling cycles can cause wax separation; melt gently and mix thoroughly
- After opening, reseal promptly and minimize headspace to preserve the delicate ionone notes
- If solidification occurs, it is normal — a gentle water bath restores the liquid state without quality loss
Store unopened drums on pallets and mark with the batch label. Follow the storage conditions printed on every container.
