Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
Fluon+ FP-E-93000 XL NATURAL HF is packed in a lined polyethylene pail each containing 10 kg.
Storage & Handling
- 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.
- Shelf Life Statement
All compounds and resins should be stored in their original containers. This will be either in re-sealable plastic pails, or in drums with the liner bags and chime rings securely re-fastened.
Products should be stored indoors at nominal conditions of 23oC and 50% relative humidity. Refrigeration is not required.
Although fluoropolymers will not readily adsorb moisture when stored under appropriate conditions, other components of the compound may. Customers may wish to dry the material immediately prior to use, especially in the case of filled or conductive compounds. Your AGCCA representative can recommend appropriate drying conditions.
Cross-linkable compounds should be properly disposed of after one (1) year from the date of manufacture; this date is located on each material container. Other resins and compounds do not have a shelf life when stored under appropriate conditions.
