It is recommended to handle TKK GLASS EXPERT ABSORB Z360 in a way that avoids the generation of dusty conditions in the workplace. If pouring into a container in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust, electrically ground both containers to prevent static electric sparks and reduce the risk of explosion.
Follow the safety recommendations provided in the Safety Data Sheet. To maintain product quality, store it in a dry place. Opened packages should be resealed promptly to prevent contamination and the adsorption of water, moisture, or other gaseous substances.
Always fill the spacers shortly before IGU assembly and avoid leaving filled spacers on the production line for extended periods, as adsorption of moisture from the air can reduce the water adsorption capacity of the molecular sieve.
At least 48 months for product supplied in drums and at least 24 months for product supplied in cardboard boxes from the production date, provided it is stored in unopened, undamaged original packaging in a dry place.
Additional information on safety, safe handling instructions, personal protective equipment, and disposal is available in the Safety Data Sheet. The Safety Data Sheet is available upon request. You can also obtain a copy from your TKK distributor.
The instructions contained in this document are based on our research and experience. However, due to specific conditions and working methods, we recommend carrying out preliminary tests before each application of our products.
