Do not use GLENIUM 7500 admixture with admixtures
containing beta-naphthalene sulfonate. Erratic behaviors
in slump, workability retention and pumpability may be
experienced.
Storage and Handling

Storage Temperature: GLENIUM 7500 admixture must be
stored at temperatures above 40 °F (5 °C). If GLENIUM 7500
admixture freezes, thaw and reconstitute by mechanical
agitation.
Shelf Life: GLENIUM 7500 admixture has a minimum shelf
life of 6 months. Depending on storage conditions, the shelf
life may be greater than stated. Please contact your BASF
Construction Chemicals representative regarding suitability
for use and dosage recommendations if the shelf life of
GLENIUM 7500 admixture has been exceeded.
Packaging
GLENIUM 7500 admixture is supplied in 55 gal (208 L) drums,
275 gal (1040 L) totes and by bulk delivery.
