5. Product use
5.1 Transportation. Storage
Textile fiberglass is sensitive to moisture and abrasion. Manufacturers' packaging takes this into account: leaving products in their original packaging until use is the best protection. If they are not fully used, they must be repackaged. Avoid exposure to water (rain, accidental leakage, etc.), as even when dried again, the product's properties can be significantly altered. Similarly, in cold weather, avoid condensation and allow the packaged product to return to room temperature for a sufficient period of time. Last but not least, it's important to ensure a good stock rotation.
