Further details can be supplied on request. Storage & Handling: Safe-Gard lining materials are heat sensitive, and therefore, transit or storage at elevated temperatures can result in the facing separating from the backing material. It is recommended that Safe-Gard products and lined closures are stored between 15 - 30° and 40 - 60% relative humidity. Storage at temperatures outside these limits increases the possibility of bowing, shrinking, curling or separation of the facing from the backing material. If materials are overheated or chilled during transit or storage, it is advisbale to store them in the recommended temperature and humidity range for at least 48 hours before processing further. Strict rotation is important and it is recommended that Safe-Gard materials are wadded, capped and sealed within 12 months of our dispatch/invoice date.
