To Maintain the Product Integrity, we recommend following SEASTAR™’s Product Integrity Guidelines.
Upon opening the product, the product’s integrity will depend on proper handling and exposure to contaminants. The product has been bottled under clean room conditions; to maintain the certified quality it should be used under these conditions.

NOTES (handling & safety):
- Opening products at elevated temperatures is very hazardous due to the increased vapour pressure of the hazardous materials
- Acetic Acid, or Glacial Acetic Acid, has a melting point (maximum) of 16.7°C (62.1°F). This means that the product may be “frozen” or in solid form. Unlike the relatively unique behaviour of water, Acetic Acid does not expand when it freezes and the product does not pose any additional hazards when solid. We recommend this product be used at temperatures in the range of 16.8°C (62.2°F) to 25°C (77°F)
