- Storage
The properties of Fluon+™ AH-ETFE are not impacted by storage time. Storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize contact with airborne contamination and the formation of condensation on the resin. Fluoropolymers are not hydroscopic and will not typically need to be dried prior to use. However, masterbatches and conductives may contain materials that do absorb water and should be dried prior to use.
- Processing
This compound is a ready-to-use and can be processed using conventional thermoplastic techniques such as injection molding and melt extrusion

- 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.
