FL1650Z is supplied in 25 kg laminated fiber board kegs.

Storage & Handling

Storage

The powder is contained within two polythene liners, individually sealed. Kegs of FL1650Z should be stored in cool, dry condiions prior to use.

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.
