Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type: Drums
Packaging: Fluon+™ glass fiber reinforced PFA compounds are packaged in lined drums containing 100 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.
