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.
