Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Polymer pellets are packed in classical or valve bags, each bag weighs 25 kg. Bags are arranged on pallets and wrapped in stretch foil. One pallet has total polymer weight of 1250 kg. Polyethylene is combustible material, therefore fire prevention measures in warehouses should be applied. Keep the polymer protected from harmful influence of heat, direct sunlight and high atmospheric humidity during storage. If resin is stored under unfavorable conditions of large fluctuation in ambient temperature and atmospheric humidity, atmospheric moisture can condense inside the packaging. In such case, it is recommended to dry pellets before use. The producer has no responsibility for any damage caused with the inappropriate storage.
