Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Information
Handling (Machining) :
- During machining of the semi-finished products, evacuate swarf to prevent slipping or tripping hazard and observe the maximum allowable concentration of dust and
- formaldehyde levels on the workplace which apply in your country.
- Wear safety goggles during machining.
Storage:
- The products shall be stored indoors in a normal environment (air at 10 - 30°C / 30 - 70% RH) and kept away from any source of degradation such as sunlight, UV-lamps, chemicals (direct or indirect contact), ionizing radiation, flames, etc.
- Dimensional changes (camber, warpage, shrinkage …) of the products as well as slight color shifts of the external surfaces can occur with time.
- The latter does generally not pose a problem in case of semi-finished products since the surface-layer is mostly removed anyway upon machining them into finished parts.
Safety measures:
- Standard industrial safety recommendations shall be observed.
- Temperatures above the melting temperature shall be avoided.
