Algoflon® DF 210 F content in the range 0.5 - 1 % by weight should be enough to enhance anti-drip property. It is recommended sieving DF 210 F before mixing at low shear with others ingredients and feeding in plastics like PC or ABS during extrusion. High shear during mixing should be avoided until DF 210 F is not well dispersed.

Algoflon® PTFE fine coagulated powders must be stored and handled carefully to avoid excessive shearing and particle fibrillation. Fibrillation is irreversible and damaged particles can appear as defects in manufactured articles.

PTFE fine coagulated powders must be handled below 19°C because above this temperature the powders are softer and can be more easily laminated. It is recommended sieving of powders below 19°C before mixing with others ingredients. Strong vibrations and shocks must be avoided as much as possible for prevent lumps formation.

Storage and transportation should be carried out in the range 5 - 19°C. Moreover, the powders must be stored in a dry room because the absorption of moisture could negatively affect its processing.

Storage and handling facilities should be clean since even very small foreign particles can cause defects in finished products. Keep resin drums closed and clean. Good housekeeping and careful handling are essential.

Before using Algoflon® PTFE fine coagulated powders consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet and follow all label directions and handling precautions.

As with all PTFE materials, handling and processing should only be carried out in well ventilated areas. Vapor extractor units should be installed above processing equipment. Fumes must not be inhaled and eye and skin contact ought to be avoided. In case of skin contacts wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact flush with water immediately and seek medical help. Do not smoke in areas contaminated with powder, vapor or fumes.

See Material Safety Data Sheet for detailed advice on waste disposal methods.
