- Labelling
Each individual package is labeled with information including product name, Tex/yield, producing plant, and production date.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
It is recommended to store glass fiber products in a cool, dry area. The glass fiber products must remain in their original packaging material until the point of usage; the product should be stored in the workshop, within its original packaging 48 hours prior to its utilization to allow it to reach the workshop temperature condition and prevent condensation, especially during cold season. The packaging is not waterproof. Be sure to protect the product from the weather and other sources of water. When stored properly, there is no known shelf life to the product, but retesting is advised after three years from the initial production date to ensure optimum performance.
