Directions for Use
With regard to product's reactivity, EBOLIT FFK must be transported and stored at temperature between 8 to 15 °C (see further). Before it is processed, the product is diluted with water to desired concentration as stated in manufacturer's instructions. It is possible to mix the product with other ingredients - ammonia water, ammonium salts etc. Impregnated mineral wool is dried up and it gains the desired properties once the contained phenol-formaldehyde resin is hardened. This hardening process takes places at temperature of approximately 200 °C.
Packaging & Storage
EBOLIT FFK is usually delivered by cooled tanker trucks or a cooled tank wagons at recommended expeditionary temperature between 8 to 15 °C. We also recommend to store it at this temperature. Provided the above mentioned temperature conditions are kept, product's shelf life is 1 month.
Transport
EBOLIT FFK is transported by covered vehicles. It is not subject to ADR/RID Regulations.
Warranty
Provided the product is transported and stored in accordance with the above written conditions, its warranty is 1 month from the date it was delivered from a warehouse.
