After RCF removal is completed, use dust suppressing cleaning methods, such as wet
sweeping or vacuuming, to clean the work area. If dry vacuuming is used, the vacuum
must be equipped with HEPA filter. Do not use air blowing or dry sweeping. Use dust
suppressing components to clean up light dust.
Product packaging may contain product residue. Do not reuse except to reship or return
ceramic fiber products to the factory.

Used by permission.
1. Never drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other violently.
2. Cylinders may be stored in the open, but in such cases, protect them against
extremes of weather and, to prevent rusting, from the dampness of the ground.
Store cylinders in the shade when located in areas where extreme temperatures are
prevalent.
3. Leave the valve protection cap on each cylinder until it has been secured against a
wall or bench or placed in a cylinder stand and is ready to be used.
4. Avoid dragging, rolling, or sliding cylinders, even for short distance; move them with
a suitable handtruck.
5. Never tamper with safety devices in valves or cylinders.
6. Do not store full and empty cylinders together. Serious suckback can occur when an
empty cylinder is attached to a pressurized system.
7. Do not subject any part of the cylinder to a temperature higher than 52 °C (125 °F).
Never permit a flame to come in contact with any part of a compressed gas cylinder.
8. Do not place cylinders where they may become part of an electric circuit. When
electric arc welding, take precautions to prevent striking an arc against the cylinder.
