ElephChem Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer with a wide range of applications, including as a component in adhesives, coatings, and as a film-forming agent. Proper storage of polyvinyl alcohol is important to maintain its quality and usability.
Here are some general guidelines for the storage of ElephChem Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA):
1.Temperature and Humidity:
Store polyvinyl alcohol in a cool, dry place. Exposure to high temperatures and humidity can lead to changes in the physical properties of the material, such as increased moisture absorption.
Avoid storage in areas prone to temperature fluctuations.
2.Sealed Containers:
Keep polyvinyl alcohol in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption. PVA is water-soluble, and exposure to moisture can affect its performance.
Use airtight containers or bags to protect the material from environmental conditions.
3.Protection from Light:
Store ElephChem Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) away from direct sunlight and other sources of UV light. Prolonged exposure to light can cause degradation of the polymer.
4.Avoid Contamination:
Keep ElephChem Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) away from contaminants such as dust, dirt, and chemicals that may affect its properties.
Use clean utensils and tools when handling and transferring PVA to prevent contamination.
5. Handling Precautions:
Follow proper handling procedures to avoid introducing impurities during the storage and use of polyvinyl alcohol.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, when handling the material.
6.First In, First Out (FIFO):
Follow a FIFO system to ensure that older batches of ElephChem Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are used first. This helps prevent the material from sitting in storage for extended periods, reducing the risk of degradation.
7.Check for Changes:
Periodically inspect stored ElephChem polyvinyl alcohol for any signs of discoloration, clumping, or changes in texture. If any abnormalities are observed, it's essential to investigate the cause and assess the material's suitability for use.
