Even the best specialty coatings can lose their effectiveness if not stored correctly. Contractors and DIY users often focus on application techniques, but product care between projects is just as important. Heat, sunlight, and improper sealing can all shorten a coating’s shelf life, making it harder to achieve flawless results later. At INSECO INC., we want to ensure every gallon performs the way it was designed — which is why proper storage and maintenance practices matter.

To keep coatings in optimal condition, always store containers in a cool, dry environment and away from direct sunlight. Reseal lids tightly after each use to prevent air exposure, which can cause thickening or skinning. For contractors who regularly use multiple coating types, clear labeling and rotation of inventory ensures you’re always working with the freshest product. By following these steps, you’ll not only reduce waste but also guarantee that every application reflects the premium performance INSECO is known for. A little care today means better protection and results tomorrow.
