What precautions should be taken when storing mounting materials for a metallographic cold mounting machine?

Storage of mounting materials used for metallographic cold mounting machines requires attention to multiple aspects to ensure stable material performance.
Epoxy resin and hardener should be stored separately to avoid premature curing reactions after mixing, and they need to be stored in sealed containers to prevent the loss of volatile components and the entry of water vapor from the air, which can lead to material deterioration.
The storage environment should be kept cool and dry, with temperatures not exceeding appropriate levels, generally recommended between 5-30°C, and away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as high temperatures will accelerate material aging and deterioration.
At the same time, the storage area should be away from children and unauthorized personnel, and clear labels must be posted stating the material's name, characteristics, and precautions.
There are also requirements for the storage time of materials; different types of materials have different shelf lives and should be used within the shelf life. Materials exceeding the shelf life may experience problems such as poor curing effects; the state of the material should be checked before use, such as whether delamination, precipitation, or abnormal odors appear, and it should not be used if there are abnormalities.
