Ambient storage conditions

The amine ends also react with atmospheric contaminants, such as SO2 and oxides of nitrogen and ozone, under ambient storage conditions (50). This phenomenon is referred to as aging and results in reduced acid dye affinity. 

Extended exposure of the uncured material to temperatures or conditions outside those recommended by the manufacturer will cause change in physical properties of the uncured material and will likely reduce its resulting cohesive and adhesive strength. The reactions that occur due to ambient storage conditions are described in Chap. 3. Figure 17.5 shows the effect of aging conditions on the tensile shear strength of an epoxy film adhesive. 

Hypromellose phthalate is chemically and physically stable at ambient temperature for at least 3—4 years and for 2-3 months at 40°C and 75% relative humidity. It is stable on exposure to UV light for up to 3 months at 25°C and 70% relative humidity. Drums stored in a cool, dry place should be brought to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation of moisture on inside surfaces. After 10 days at 60°C and 100% relative humidity, 8-9% of carbyoxybenzoyl group were hydrolyzed. In general, hypromellose pbthalate is more stable than cellulose acetate phthalate. At ambient storage conditions, hypromellose phthalate is not susceptible to microbial attack. 

Again, it is necessary to acquire performance data for ambient storage conditions as well as for elevated conditions in order to determine the TED ratio, and before this method can be employed for predicting a variable Q,o. 

Particles, single as well as granulated or agglomerated forms, may be produced in one step from a thin, pumpable slurry or solution, a semi-solid paste or sludge, or a particulate (wet) solid. A bewildering assortment of dryers is available to produce such dry solid particles (the word dry here implies a solid with a moisture content in equilibrium with the ambient storage conditions for the product). Depending on the specified physical or chemical characteristics of the final product different dryers operated at different thermal conditions may be needed even if the feed material is the same. Often different dryers yield similar product at comparable costs. 

The test substance should be stored in a locked facility at or near the test site. Most pesticide products are manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures, therefore most test substances used for re-entry and worker exposure studies may be stored under ambient conditions. One should read the label of the product carefully to discern if there are any extraordinary storage conditions required for the pesticide product. Temperatures at the test substance storage location should be monitored daily using a max/min thermometer or similar device that can record daily fluctuations of temperatures. 

The excipient must be stored following the manufacturers recommended storage conditions. Where temperature or humidity is specified, it is necessary to provide appropriate controls in the warehouse along with records to show compliance. If normal warehousing conditions are appropriate, the warehouse can be kept under ambient conditions and no monitoring of temperature or humidity is required. 

They remain liquid under normal, ambient operating conditions (moderate temperature, atmospheric pressure). Safety in storage and handling should also be considered. A storable liquid propellant should not have an excessively high vapour pressure at ambient temperature. The leading storable propellant uses dinitrogen tetroxide as oxidizer and a 50/50 mixture of hydrazine-unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) as fuel [71], Nitrogen tetroxide and UDMH is another storable propellant mixture in use [73],... 

Any solid waste form should serve to reduce waste volume and provide short term stabilization under conditions such as fracture, fire, or water immersion which could result from a transportation mishap. In the geologic storage scenarios currently receiving the most scrutiny, the most likely path to the biosphere has been identified as aqueous transport of nuclides via groundwater. Thus an acceptable waste form would also resist dissolution under ambient repository conditions, with the obvious benefit of assuring a sufficiently low nuclide release rate into an aquifer to preclude a significant threat to health and safety.

Testing frequencies under accelerated storage conditions are usually 0-, 1-, 3-, and 6-month intervals or longer-term stability testing every 3 months during the first year and semiannually thereafter at ambient temperature conditions. 

Humidity control. Moisture is an important factor in the stability of many pharmaceutical compounds and formulations (22,23). The decision to control moisture for comparative stress studies should depend on the characteristics of the compound and the information desired. The moisture content of typical samples, moisture sorption as a function of relative humidity, and the effect of moisture on degradation can help guide the decision to control humidity. At a minimum, samples being compared should be exposed to the same ambient humidity conditions in the storage chamber. 

Borax decahydrate (also called borax) is slightly soluble in cold water (4.71% by wt. at 20°C) and highly soluble in hot water (30% at 60°C). It has a pH of 9.24 (1% solution at ambient temperature) and exhibits excellent buffering property.7 As a crystalline material, borax decahydrate is stable under normal storage conditions. It will slowly lose water of crystallization if exposed to a warm and dry atmosphere. Conversely, exposure to a humid atmosphere can cause recrystallization at particle contact point, thus resulting in caking.
