The shelf life of ROYAL DEF is directly related to the storage temperature. ROYAL DEF should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. While the optimum storage temperature is up to 77 deg F (25 deg C), temporary exposure to higher temperatures has little to no impact on the quality of DEF. If ROYAL DEF freezes, its efficacy will not be affected upon thawing.
