Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type: Drums,
Pails
Packaging: Fluon+ FP-E-93000 XL NATURAL LF is packed in polyethylene bags in fiber drums each containing 225 pounds or a plastic pail containing 10 kilograms.

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.
