Handling and transportation of the containers could easily subject the powder to sufficient shear to spoil it if the resin temperature is above the transition point. To ensure that the resin does not fibrillate, it should be cooled below its transition temperature prior to handling and transportation. A typical commercial container (20-30 kg) should be cooled 2448 hours to <15C (59F) to assure temperature uniformity throughout the container. Specially designed shallow cylindrical drums are used to minimize lump formation, compaction, and shearing of the resin. To prevent moisture contamination, the drum must not be opened where the ambient dew point is above the temperature of resin to avoid immediate condensation on the resin. Storage and handling facilities should be clean so as to avoid any external contaminant. Keep resin drum closed and clean. Good housekeeping and careful handling areessential. PROCESSING IN0FL0N FP7040EX is fabricated by paste extrusion, where PTFE powder is first blended at temperatures below 19C (66.2F) with a hydrocarbon lubricant which acts as an extrusion aid. After aging at about 30C (86F) it is then formed into a cylindrical preform at fairly low pressure and placed inside the barrel of a paste extruder where it is forced through a die with a constant extrusion rate at 30-50C (86-122F). The extrudate is passed through multiple ovens and a cooling device where it is first dried, then sintered and finally cooled. Drying and sintering can be performed continuously "in line" with the extrusion or in separate dryingand sinteringovens. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Handling and processing of PTFE must be done in a ventilated area to prevent personnel exposure to the fumes liberated duringsinteringand heatingofthe resin. Fumes must not be inhaled and eye and skin contact should beavoided. In case of eye contact flush, with water immediately and seek medical help. Smoking tobacco or cigarettes contaminated with PTFE may result in a flu-like condition including chills, fever and sore throat that may not start until a few hours after exposure has taken place. These symptoms usually pass within about 24 hours. Vapors and gases generated by PTFE during sintering must be completely removed from the factory areas. Mixtures of some metal powders such as magnesium or aluminum are flammable and explosive under some conditions.
