Typical Physical Properties

Processing: This product can be processed using automatic molding equipment due to its high bulk density and flow properties. This product can flow from standard design hoppers and other bulk feeding equipment.

Safe Handling Information: A summary of the hazards, as defined by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 for this product are:
Physical hazards: None
Health hazards: None

Packaging Type: Boxes
Packaging: Fluon+ FC 500 (340500000) is packed in a lined cardboard box containing 35 pounds.

Handling Precautions: Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.

Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
