During the storage of Masterbatch, the following matters need to be noted to ensure the stability of its quality and performance:
1. Storage environment
Masterbatch should be stored in a dry, ventilated, light-proof warehouse. Avoid moisture, exposure to sunlight and high temperature environment, because moisture may cause Masterbatch to clump or deteriorate, while high temperature may accelerate the oxidation reaction of certain ingredients in Masterbatch, affecting its color stability and service life. Specifically, the storage temperature should generally be controlled below 20°C and should not exceed 30°C.
2. Packaging specifications
Masterbatch should be packed in weather-resistant and waterproof bags or barrels and sealed to prevent leakage. At the same time, the integrity of the packaging should be ensured, and damaged packaging and open-air storage may have adverse effects. During storage, the packaging should be checked regularly to see if it is intact, and damaged packaging should be replaced in time.
3. Avoid mixing
Different types of Masterbatch should be stored separately to avoid mixing and causing quality changes. Because different types of Masterbatch may have differences in chemical composition and physical properties, mixing may lead to mutual contamination or chemical reactions, affecting the quality and performance of the Masterbatch.
4. Regular inspection
For the stored Masterbatch, its status should be checked regularly to ensure that there is no moisture, discoloration or caking. Once an abnormality is found, it should be handled in time to avoid the problem from expanding.
5. Expiration date
During the storage process, the quality of Masterbatch may change over time. Therefore, when using Masterbatch, you should pay attention to its expiration date and give priority to using earlier batches. Expired Masterbatch may deteriorate in performance due to oxidation, decomposition, etc., affecting product quality.
In summary, during the storage of Masterbatch, attention should be paid to storage environment, packaging specifications, avoiding mixing, regular inspection and expiration date. Through reasonable storage management, the quality and performance of Masterbatch can be ensured to be stable, providing a strong guarantee for the production of high-quality products.
