Proper Storage of PE Plastic Protective Film
Proper storage is critical to preventing premature aging and maintaining the performance of PE plastic protective film. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal storage conditions:
1. Environmental Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry warehouse with stable temperatures (ideally 15–25°C)
- Maintain low humidity (below 60%)
- Avoid direct sunlight or prolonged UV exposure
- Use opaque covers or store in shaded areas to block UV light
2. Packaging & Handling
- Keep in original packaging or wrap tightly with moisture-resistant materials
- Protect against dust, moisture, and physical damage
- Avoid folding or creasing the film to prevent stress points
- Store rolls vertically on clean, flat pallets
3. Inventory Management
- Implement "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) system
- Regularly inspect for signs of aging (yellowing, stickiness, loss of elasticity)
- Segregate and dispose of aged products promptly
4. Anti-Aging Additives
- Consider films with UV stabilizers or antioxidants during manufacturing
- Specify these additives when purchasing for enhanced durability
