Glass Fiber Products: Packaging, Transportation, and Storage Guide
1.Product Transportation Key Points
To ensure fiberglass products are not damaged during transportation, pay special attention to the following points:
Packaging Method
Standard Packaging: Typically, cartons and pallets are used, wrapped in moisture-proof film and then stretched.
Reinforced Packaging: For export, shock-absorbing foam or custom wooden crates are available, suitable for long-distance ocean transport or for precision products.
Labels and Markings: The packaging should clearly indicate the product model, batch number, production date, and handling warnings.
Transportation Precautions
Moisture and Pressure Protection: Fiberglass absorbs moisture easily; therefore, it should be protected from rain and heavy pressure during transportation.
Avoid Drops and Severe Vibration: Products should be handled with care during loading and unloading to avoid breakage, fraying, and other quality issues.
Container Loading Recommendations: We recommend using 20GP or 40HQ containers, stacking them appropriately, and using non-slip pads for reinforcement.
2.Storage Environment Recommendations
To maintain the stable performance of fiberglass products, the following storage conditions are critical:
Environmental Conditions
Temperature Range: We recommend storing indoors between 15°C and 35°C. Humidity Requirements: Maintain a relative humidity between 35-65% to prevent moisture from affecting the material's wettability.
Avoid direct sunlight and heat: Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent packaging aging or material deformation.
Stacking
Pallet Isolation: Products should be placed on clean, flat, water-free pallets, away from the floor.
Stacking Height: A maximum of two layers is generally recommended, and no heavy objects should be placed on top to prevent deformation.
Expiry Life
Recommended Use Period: Fiberglass products are best used within 12 months of production.
Expiration Date: If stored beyond the expiration date, retest the moisture content, wettability, and other properties to ensure continued usability.
3.FAQ
Why shouldn't fiberglass be stored directly in the air for extended periods?
Fiberglass absorbs moisture easily, which can affect the resin's infiltration rate and the quality of the final product.
Can products still be used if they become damp?
Minor moisture can be dried before use, but performance may be reduced. Severe moisture is not recommended for use in critical areas.
How many layers can be stacked on a pallet?
A maximum of two layers is recommended, with a non-slip pad or support structure in between to prevent pressure on the bottom layer.
4.Conclusion
Whether it's fiberglass roving, chopped strand mat, wound yarn, or sheet yarn, proper transportation and storage are crucial to maintaining its performance. Choosing appropriate packaging and maintaining a dry and clean storage environment directly impact the stability and strength of the product in its final application.
