Material Features:
- Food Contact Acceptable
Safety Instruction:
- Flammable pentane-air mixtures may be generated during storage and processing of sunpor® superfusion. For this reason, adequate ventilation must be ensured (LEL pentane 1.3 % by volume). The blowing agent pentane escapes relatively slowly from EPS foam blocks. Thus, when cutting recently molded blocks, the formation of a flammable pentane-air mixture has to be anticipated. In addition, all conceivable sources of ignition must be kept away, and the build-up of electric charges has to be prevented.
