Packaging
Made to Order Package Type – solid form only

Aerafin™ 17M polymer can be packaged in drums. These are 22.5-inch inside diameter drums, 4 drums per pallet. Drummed material is sold by net weight per pallet, approximately 1,200 lbs per pallet.

Please be aware that there may be additional costs and lead times associated with this package type.



Storage
Molten material should be handled entirely in closed systems blanketed with an inert gas, such as nitrogen. Molten material can be stored satisfactorily under nitrogen in a steel tank at 350°F to 390°F. Inside storage is recommended for Aerafin™ polymer packaged in drums.
