I worked with the company Murray Painting that was bidding on a large job that required a protective Fire coating. I brought in a outside vendor, after the presentation was finished we had a deal. This product had to be stored at a temp of minimum 55. When we received the material to the store all the containers had temp gauges on them to tell if it had frozen during transit. Stored 1500 gallons at a time at the store. During delivery to job site the rental truck had to have a heater in the back to maintain that temp. To insure Quality of material. At the end it was about 5500 gallons between 2 jobs.
