What are the special requirements for storage and transportation of elastomer flame retardants?

The storage and transportation of elastomer flame retardants does have some special requirements. These requirements are mainly to ensure the stable performance, safety and effectiveness of the flame retardants, and to prevent dangers that may occur during storage and transportation.

Storage requirements:
Dry and moisture-proof: Flame retardants should be stored in dry and ventilated special warehouses to avoid contact with moisture and prevent moisture absorption. Therefore, airtight containers are the first choice for storing flame retardants to ensure they are not affected by outside humidity.
Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged sunlight or high temperature environments may cause the performance of the flame retardant to decrease. Therefore, the storage location should avoid direct sunlight, and the temperature should generally be controlled within a suitable range, such as between 5-25°C.
Correct labeling: Storage containers should be clearly labeled with the name, production date, expiry date and other information of the flame retardant for easy management and use.
Regular inspection: Regular inspection of stored flame retardants to ensure that there is no leakage, deterioration, etc. is an important measure to maintain stable performance of flame retardants.

Shipping requirements:
Special vehicles: Flame retardants should be transported in special vehicles. These vehicles should usually have good sealing, shockproof, anti-static and other functions to ensure the safety of flame retardants during transportation.
Complete packaging: During transportation of flame retardants, their packaging must be complete to prevent leakage or damage during transportation. Packaging materials such as metal cans should ensure that they do not leak, collapse, fall, or be damaged.
Avoid mixing and transportation: Flame retardants should avoid mixing and transportation with oxidants, etc. to prevent chemical reactions or dangers.
Protection from exposure to the sun and rain: During transportation, measures should be taken to prevent the flame retardant from being exposed to the sun or rain to maintain its stable performance.

The storage and transportation of elastomer flame retardants have strict special requirements, which involve environmental control, packaging integrity and avoidance of mixed transportation. Following these requirements ensures the safety and effectiveness of flame retardants during storage and transportation.
