Storage & Handling

Handling Precautions

WARNING: Vapors that can be hazardous if inhaled may be liberated during processing.
Please consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for Fluon LM-ETFE prior to use. It is also recommended that the user consult the latest edition of the “Guide to the Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins” published by the Fluoropolymers Division of the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) for important handling and ventilation recommendations. Both publications are available from your AGC Chemicals Americas representative.

Storage

The properties of Fluon LM-ETFE are not impacted by storage time. Storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize contact with airborne contamination and the formulation of condensation on the resin. Fluoropolymers are not hydroscopic and will not typically need to be dried prior to use. However, masterbatches used to pigment fluoropolymers may contain materials that do absorb water and should be dried prior to use.
