Harshaw sodium methylate, both in powder and solution form, is stable in the sealed containers. Exposure to air will cause progressive decomposition —rapidly for the powder, more slowly for the solution. Harshaw warehouses are geographically located and amply stocked to ship your orders without delay. If you have a problem our technical service men will work with you toward its solution.
