Q
Hi, I'm organising a Stores rearrangement project in the UK. Do your polishing films require specific storage conditions i.e. temperature, should they be stored in the dark, humidity etc?
A
Standard ambient environmental conditions are fine. Also, no need to storage in darkness, it is suggested to avoid direct sunlight to prevent product fading.

CleanTouch™

Q
Is there a video I can watch on how to properly clean a connector using this CleanTouch product?
A
We do not have a video. However, the correct procedure is just to lightly touch the ferrule tip to the cleaning port and remove. Do not twist or wipe. No solvents are required. It is suggested to use each port only once. If you would like a sample, please contact sales@krelltech.com.
