How to store AdBlue®?

AdBlue^® should be stored out of direct sunlight between -6°C and 25°C in a clean and sealed container or dispensing unit. Storing it in the wrong equipment may result in costly damage to your vehicle due to contamination, which can result in SCR-catalyst replacement and downtime.

Storage Requirements

AdBlue^® can only be stored in high-density Polyethylene, polypropylene or stainless steel containers. Suitable materials for piping, insulation and sealing:

• Polyisobutylene (synthetic rubber), free of additives – (for seals and hoses)
• PFA, PVDF & PTFE (Teflon) free of additives (for sheet – lining for chemical equipment/support rings, seals)
• Copolymers of (P)VDF and HFP (Viton), free of additives – (for the insulation of electrical wires & seals/o-rings)

Do not use corrosive materials like copper, nickel, zinc, mild iron or aluminium. You can check the entire list in the ISO 22241 recommendations.
