Storage:
 All material should be stored out of the weather in a clean, dry area in its original unopened packaging at a minimum of
50 °F (10 °C) and a maximum of 100 °F (38 °C) so that it will be 60 °F (16 °C) or above at the time of application.
 Do not stack Firestone SBS Metal Flash-AL membrane more than two (2) pallets high.
 If the material must be stored temporarily on the roof before application, it must be elevated from the roof surface on a
pallet, stored on end, and covered from the weather with a light colored opaque tarp in a neat, safe manner that does
not exceed the allowable load limit of the storage area.
Precautions:
 For safety information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for SBS Membranes and Flashing.
 Take care when transporting and handling Firestone Modified Bitumen rolls to avoid punctures and other types of
physical damage.
 Isolate waste products, petroleum products, grease, oil (mineral and vegetable) and animal fats from all Firestone
