Health Hazard Warning
Please note that PTFE is used in FPL pumps when specified in diaphragms, seals, seats and other
components.
At temperatures up to 250°C polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is completely inert so that on the rare
occasions when the diaphragm fails or cracks,there is no direct danger from these components, other
than if particles are allowed to be carried into the process liquids.
At higher temperatures however, small quantities of toxic fumes can be produced and the direct inhalation
of these can cause an influenza type of illness, which may not appear for some hours, but which subsides
without after effects in 24 to 48 hours. Such fumes can arise from PTFE particles picked up on the end
of a cigarette, or in the presence of any open flame or similar ie: electric fire, therefore smoking should
be prohibited when pumps are being serviced or PTFE components are being handled.
The disposal of PTFE components such as diaphragms etc. must be carefully controlled and under no
circumstances should be burned. When these components are scrapped, disposal must be made safely
and if disposed of through normal rubbish collection, the local authorities should be advised that such
disposal is being carried out.
