Information
Health warning: If PTFE products are heated to elevated temperatures, fumes will be produced which may give unpleasant effects, if inhaled. Whilst some fumes are emitted below 300°C from
PTFE, the effect at these temperatures is negligible. Care should be taken to avoid contaminating tobacco with particles of PTFE or PTFE dispersion, which may remain on hands or clothing.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available on request.
