- Handling
Fluteck™ E400 ETFE can be stored for a long period of life when kept in a clean and dry area at ambient temperature. Specific aging tests carried out on sample exposed to aging and atmospheric conditions, showed no changes in weight and volume. It is extremely hydrophobic and sheds water almost totally. A moisture adsorption of <0.03% in water at room temperature followed by 2 hours in boiling water. It is also virtually unaffected by oxygen, ozone and visible or UV light.
