I don't recall seeing a temperature controlled van delivering the product. The 8C to 28C range is so narrow I doubt any epoxy reaches the end user without exceeding the temperature range.
Using heat for mixing or cure is ok.
"LOCTITE® EA 9460TM can also be fully cured with heat such as; 6 to 8 hours at a maximum temperature of 149 °C."
After warming to ease mixing it cools down rapidly in a paper cup. I sometimes use a small space heater to speed the cure process. I don't think I ever get it up to 149C or 300F. Yeouch that's hot.
