Safety & Health
- Safety
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) contains information regarding health, safety and waste considerations for all IEPL High Density Polyethylene grades. We urge each customer or recipient of MSDS to study it carefully to become aware of and understand the hazards associated with the product. The customer should consider consulting reference works or individuals who are experts in ventilation, toxicology or fire prevention, as necessary or appropriate to use and understand the data contained in the MSDS.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
HEG00952 is available in natural color, pellets form in 25 Kg bags
Storage & Handling
- Storage
The material is packed in 25 kg bags protecting it from contamination. Storage times of natural materials longer than 6 months may have a negative influence on the quality of the final product. It is generally recommended to convert all material latest within 6 months of production. The material is subjected to degradation by ultra-violet radiation or by high storage temperatures. Therefore the material must be protected from direct sunlight, temperatures above 40°C and high atmospheric humidity during storage. Further unfavorable storage conditions are large fluctuations in ambient temperature and high atmospheric humidity. These conditions may lead to moisture condensing inside the packaging. Under these circumstances, it is recommended to dry the material before use. After a storage period of more than 3 months drying of such material is recommended as standard practice.
