Should I Refrigerate or Freeze Epoxy Resin?

If you’re considering how best to store your epoxy resin for long-term use, refrigeration or freezing might seem like a precaution, but this can actually do more harm than good. Here’s what you should know about keeping your resin in perfect condition.

Why Low Temperatures are a Problem

Storing epoxy resin in the refrigerator or freezer is not advisable. Low temperatures lead to thickening and, more critically, can cause crystallisation or separation in the resin. Once this happens, it may become very difficult or even impossible to restore your resin to its intended consistency and clarity, resulting in wasted material.

How to Store Epoxy Resin Correctly

The best way to store epoxy resin is in a cool, dry environment at typical room temperature, away from direct sunlight and fluctuating temperatures. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture ingress. Most epoxy resins, such as Epoxytable 10-Ten or “Trasparente”, will come with product instructions specifying optimal storage conditions—always refer to these guidelines for the best results. Be sure to avoid storing resin near radiators, windows, or damp areas as these can degrade the material over time.

When This Advice Matters Most

Proper storage is especially important if you purchase resin in bulk or only work on projects occasionally. Unstable temperatures speed up product degradation, limit shelf life, and may affect the performance and finish of your craft, table, or artwork projects.
