Why Should Epoxy Be Stored Upright?

← Back to How to store epoxy resins A and B?

Proper storage is one of the simplest yet most important steps when working with epoxy resin. Storing resin containers upright not only keeps your workspace tidy, but it also maintains the quality and safety of your epoxy resins over time.

Leak Prevention and Seal Integrity

An upright container greatly reduces the chance of leaks and spills, especially for dual-component systems like resins A and B. This position helps keep the factory seal and any cap intact, stopping air or moisture from seeping in around the lid. Without upright storage, residues trapped in the threads could allow the contents to leak or gradually draw in air, causing contamination and premature degradation of your resin.

Protecting Resin Longevity

Exposure to excess air or minor leaks can affect the shelf life of your epoxy. When stored upright in a cool, dry space, your resin maintains its quality and remaining shelf life for as long as possible. This is especially useful for products such as the “Epoxytable 10-Ten” deep pour epoxy, where stable and uncontaminated resin is key to clear results.

When Upright Storage Matters Most

• If you regularly open and reseal containers as you work on multiple projects
• For larger resin kits where product may be stored for months
• When the resin needs to stay dust-free and free from moisture for casting applications
