Product Care and Storage Guidelines
- Original Packaging: Keep the product in its original bags or packaging until you’re ready to use it to ensure optimal condition.
- Nylon Aging: Slight yellowing or aging of nylon materials over time (1–2 years) is normal and does not affect product performance.
- Temperature Range: Adhesive-backed clips and products perform best when stored at temperatures between 15°C and 38°C (59°F to 100.4°F).
- Moisture Sensitivity: Nylon is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs or loses moisture based on environmental humidity.
- Environmental Protection: Avoid exposing the product to direct sunlight, dust, moisture, and corrosive or solvent fumes and vapors. Such conditions may degrade the product’s quality and shorten its shelf life.
Please refer to the relevant Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any specific instructions.
