Storing hose lines
When storing hose lines, storage conditions must be aimed at minimizing the natural aging that
occurs over time and the associated change in material and composite properties.
For this purpose, the following information must be provided:

Store in a cool, dry and low-dust place.

Low-dust storage can be achieved, for example, by wrapping the hoses in plastic film.

Avoid direct sun or UV radiation.


Shield from nearby heat sources.


Avoid storage temperatures below -10 °C for elastomers.


Do not use ozone-generating light fittings or electrical devices that may produce
sparks in the immediate vicinity.

(Ozone-generating light fittings are, for example, fluorescent light sources, mercury vapor lamps).
The most favorable storage conditions are temperatures b15 °C and +25 °C, as well
a relative humidity below 65 %.
During storage, hose lines must not come into contact with substances that could cause damage,
e.g. acids, alkalis, solvents. Penetration of ozone or other harmful air constituents can be prevented
by sealing the ends or by wrapping the hoses in plastic film. They must be stored flat and free of
tension.
The storage period for hose lines should not exceed two years.
