Packaging
Standard Package Type: Eastman APO 42339 is available in bags (50-lb net weight), 2,250-lb net weight per pallet. Bags are made of polypropylene.

Pellets are coated with polypropylene to prevent blocking.


Storage
Due to the thermoplastic behavior, pelletized material may fuse, block or lump. This can be accelerated under any of the following conditions: 1) above ambient temperature 2) prolonged storage 3) pressure, e.g., stacking pallets, or a combination of these conditions.

For improved handling, we therefore recommend storing the material in a temperature-controlled area, be careful with stacking material or applying pressure and preventing prolonged storage.

It should be noted that lumping does not have a negative impact on the product specifications. Due to the nature of the product, claims regarding lumping cannot be accepted.
