- Storage
The properties of Fluon LM-ETFE are not impacted by storage time. Storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize contact with airborne contamination and the formulation of condensation on the resin. Fluoropolymers are not hydroscopic and will not typically need to be dried prior to use. However, masterbatches used to pigment fluoropolymers may contain materials that do absorb water and should be dried prior to use.
