To use fluororesin products safely, observe the following.

   apparatus for human body transplants, or in contact with body fluids and tissues of the living body.

2.Fluororesin products must not be used where the temperature exceeds the temperatures for
   continuous use stated in this website. See "Product Safety Data Sheet:MSDS" for details.

3.Dispose of fluororesin products as industrial waste, according to
   "Law concerning disposal and cleansing of industrial waste" ; do not incinerate them.

Caution Caution

1.Prior to selecting the application of a fluororesin product, study the various catalogs and manuals
   issued by our company, and carry out thorough confirmation in advance before using the product.

2.When processing a fluororesin product at a temperature exceeding the temperature for continuous
   use stated in this website, thoroughly ventilate the work area, and avoid inhaling the gaseous
   products of thermal decomposition.

3.If fluororesin product or a scrap of processed fluororesin product becomes attached to a cigarette,
   the smoker will consequently inhale thermal decomposition gases; do not allow fluororesin products
   or scraps of these to adhere to cigarettes.

Notice

1.The physical property values shown for each material in this website are typical values; they are not
   guaranteed values regarding all functions and life spans of products or components made from
   base material products.

2.Fluororesin (PTFE) itself conforms to the Food Sanitation Act and standards and criteria for foods
   and additives, but, as a precaution, we recommend making inquiries before each use of PTFE.

3.Concerning export restrictions on fluororesin products, fluororesins themselves not fall into
   the category of restricted cargo, but when fluororesins have been designed and used for machines,
   tools and systems, we cannot judge whether or not they will become restricted cargo, so confirm
   this according to the concerned laws and ordinances for each case.
