Storage requirements for desiccant mainly include the following aspects:
Storage environment: Desiccant should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environment to prevent its moisture absorption capacity from decreasing. The storage environment should be kept clean and hygienic to avoid contact with pollutants.
Packaging container: Select packaging containers with good sealing performance and moisture-proof, such as plastic bags, glass bottles, etc., to prevent desiccant from absorbing moisture in the air.
Moisture-proof measures: During storage, the dry state of the desiccant should be checked regularly. If the desiccant is found to be discolored, lumpy or hygroscopic, timely treatment measures should be taken. It is best to have a tray and plastic cloth between the desiccant and the ground to prevent moisture.
Temperature control: Avoid storing desiccant in a high temperature environment. The ideal storage temperature is about 24°C.
Classification storage: Different types of desiccant are suitable for different purposes. They should be reasonably selected and classified according to usage requirements to avoid confusion.
Safety precautions: Desiccant should avoid contact with volatile substances, especially chemical desiccants with strong oxidizing or corrosive properties, and should be stored out of the reach of children.
Regular replacement: The shelf life of desiccant is generally short, usually 1-2 years. Therefore, desiccant should be replaced regularly to ensure the stability of its drying performance.
Disposal: For expired or invalid desiccant, it should be disposed of in accordance with relevant regulations to avoid harm to the environment.
