Benefits

Cross-linking ETFE increases mechanical properties such as scrape abrasion, cut-through resistance, and tensile strength, especially at elevated temperatures. Flammability of the cross-linked polymer is also improved.

PACKAGING

Fluon+ FP-E-93000 XL NATURAL HF is packed in a lined polyethylene pail each containing 10 kg.

Processing

This ready-to-use product can be processed using conventional thermoplastic techniques such as compression and injection molding and melt extrusion under standard ETFE operating conditions.. The processed article can be cross-linked using electron-beam radiation or gamma radiation. It is strongly recommended that process equipment exposed to molten resin be made of corrosion-resistant metals such as Monel, Inconel, or Hastelloy.

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.

Shelf Life Statement

All compounds and resins should be stored in their original containers. This will be either in re-sealable plastic pails, or in drums with the liner bags and chime rings securely re-fastened.; Products should be stored indoors at nominal conditions of 23oC and 50% relative humidity. Refrigeration is not required.; Although fluoropolymers will not readily adsorb moisture when stored under appropriate conditions, other components of the compound may. Customers may wish to dry the material immediately prior to use, especially in the case of filled or conductive compounds. Your AGCCA representative can recommend appropriate drying conditions.; Cross-linkable compounds should be properly disposed of after one (1) year from the date of manufacture; this date is located on each material container. Other resins and compounds do not have a shelf life when stored under appropriate conditions.

Safe Use and Handling

A summary of the hazards, as defined by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 for this product are: Physical hazards: None Health hazards: None. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS READ AGC CHEMICALS AMERICAS, INC. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET.
