Handling and storage

Polyfoam Floorfoam is supplied in rolls in polythene packs, labelled with identifying product and manufacturing data. The rolls are easy to handle and non-irritant, no special protective clothing is required to install them. Polyfoam products should not be left exposed to prolonged sunlight as this will result in surface degradation. Where outside storage for extended periods is required cover with opaque/light coloured sheeting. Ensure the rolls are not stored close to open flame or other ignition source, also avoiding volatile compounds and chemicals such as solvents.
