HANDLING & STORAGE Lakeland imidazolines are strong organic bases and care must be taken when handling. Contact with skin and eyes must be avoided and suitable protective clothing (ie gloves, goggles & overalls) should be worn at all times. This product will be chemically stable for 12 months if stored in unopened sealed containers at temperatures between 10EC and 35EC. As Imidazoline 18DA is derived from natural products separation and precipitation may occur. If required, gentle warming of the product to room temperature with slight agitation should facilitate reconstitution.
