Cotton Baling Film Outdoor Storage Guidelines
1. UV Radiation Shielding
- Prolonged sunlight exposure degrades film via photochemical reactions, weakening its structure.
- Store films in shaded areas or cover them with UV-resistant tarps.
- Opt for films pre-added with UV stabilizers (e.g., HALS) to extend durability.
- Regularly check covers for tears that might expose the film to direct sunlight.
2. Moisture and Waterproofing
- Rain and humidity can compromise film integrity.
- Elevate storage pallets at least 30 cm above the ground to avoid waterlogging.
- Wrap stacks with waterproof sheeting and ensure seals are tight to prevent condensation.
3. Temperature Control
- Extreme temperatures affect film flexibility: heat softens it, while cold causes brittleness.
- Use reflective covers in hot regions to reduce heat buildup.
- Insulate stacks in cold areas and keep films away from heat sources.
4. Physical Damage Prevention
- Secure stacks with straps and place them behind barriers.
- Inspect regularly for cuts or punctures from wind, debris, or wildlife.
- Limit stack height to 2-3 meters to avoid compression damage.
5. Proper Labeling and Rotation
- Clearly mark stacks with batch numbers and dates.
- Follow a first-in-first-out (FIFO) system to minimize long-term exposure.
- Ensure compliance with local regulations for films containing additives.
