Storage & Handling
Anchorlube is normally a smooth, green semi-paste, but consistency may vary with temperature. Its melting point is between 75° F and 80° F. In a warm working area its viscosity is reduced, and in colder temperatures, it is a fairly heavy paste. These changes have no effect on use or efficiency. Freezing will occur under continued exposure to 30° F or lower, and after thawing, the compound may be separated into several layers. If this happens, a vigorous shaking is all that is needed. Freezing and thawing will have no effect on its use.
