To get the most out of product shelf life, the ideal storage temperature is between 20°F and 85°F. Expectations for shelf life are defined in ISO 22241-3 when stored properly. Diesel Urea will degrade in time depending on temperature and exposure to sunlight. If the maximum temperature does not exceed approximately 75° F for an extended period of time the shelf life will be easily two years. Temporary exposure to high temperatures has little or no impact on DEF.
Diesel Urea is stored at extremely cold temperatures (the fluid will freeze at 11°F), however the product is not impacted by freezing and subsequent defrosting of the fluid. *Easy tip: keep the fluid out of the direct sunlight, extremely hot, and extremely cold temperatures for a prolonged periods of time and you will be on your way. If the fluid is stored in extremely hot temperatures the fluid is not “bad” it will simply be consumed at a higher rate by the vehicle.
