Frost-sensitive products: Shipping & storage in winter

Water-based lacquers, stains, oils, and care products must be protected from frost. Special shipping conditions therefore apply when there is a risk of frost. Allow for possible delivery delays and store the goods in a frost-free place after receipt.

How do we ship when there is a risk of frost?

We ship as usual on frost-free days. If there is a risk of frost, frost-sensitive products are shipped by parcel and pallet from Monday through Thursday. This reduces time spent in transit over the weekend.

Shipping method Policy in case of frost risk
Parcel shipping up to 30 kg Shipping Monday through Thursday
Pallet shipping Shipping Monday through Thursday; thermal covers and express service subject to an agreed transport solution
Full truckloads Heated thermal trailers by arrangement; allow for longer scheduling times

Additional transport and protection costs are available on request.

How should frost-sensitive products be stored?

Store the products in a frost-free place and above +5 °C, unless the relevant technical data sheet specifies otherwise. Also observe the maximum temperature stated there.

Bring the material to the recommended processing temperature before use. Frost can permanently damage products.
