- Handling
Fluteck™ E200 FEP can be stored for a long period of life and is exceptionally resistant to aging and weather conditions up to 20 years. Specific aging tests carried out on sample exposed to aging and atmospheric conditions, showed no changes in weight and volume. In case of semi-finished products, before processing or before the machining, it is advisable to store the material for 24 hours in the production area, preferable in a clean and dry place at a temperature of less 25°C preferably between 21-25°C. This is very important when room temperature is low; in such cases the material should be conditioned up to 72 hours in the production area in the recommended temperature range.
