| STORAGE AND HANDLING
Crospovidone products have excellent stability when stored in their original container with a routine re-test period of 36 months.
Crospovidone does not present a human or environmental health risk in the form in which it is supplied. However, as with any particulate material, sensible precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation.
Crospovidone is hygroscopic, therefore suitable precautions should be taken to avoid excessive exposure to moisture.
