When designing chemical plastic drums, in order to slightly extend their service life, we need to consider various aspects, and the temperature that plastic drums can accept is one of the important factors to consider. So what is the temperature that chemical plastic drums can withstand?
Usually, chemical plastic drums can carry a high temperature of 108 degrees Celsius and a low temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the temperature of the liquid contained in chemical drums should be between minus 40 degrees Celsius and plus 60 degrees Celsius, which is more suitable. If it exceeds this numerical scale and contains heavier or warmer liquids, protective measures should be taken for the chemical drum to avoid deformation.
Chemical plastic drums are generally produced by molding, and different molding methods often have a significant impact on the functionality and cost of the product. Plastic packaging containers with the same or similar shape may have significant differences in the functional application of chemical plastic drums due to differences in material. So, although we have constrained the temperature range that chemical packaging drums can carry in the above content, the usage still needs to be based on the actual situation.
In general, regardless of the quality, chemical plastic drums have a large temperature bearing capacity. Once this capacity is exceeded, chemical plastic drums are prone to deformation, aging, and other problems. Therefore, when using chemical drums to hold liquids, we must pay attention to whether the temperature of the liquid being held is controlled within the capacity of the chemical drum.
Chemical plastic drums have been widely recognized as storage containers, especially in the chemical industry. But in order to better utilize them, we need to find more suitable storage methods.
1. Prevent exposure to direct sunlight
In daily storage, chemical plastic drums should be stored under a canopy to prevent exposure to sunlight. This is primarily because shorter wavelengths and higher energy of light can accelerate the aging of plastic barrels. So we advocate that the storage temperature of plastic drums should be below 40 ℃ and above -18 ℃.
2. Do not pile up
Due to space constraints, the storage of plastic buckets will take up a lot of space. So in order to save space, stack an additional layer on each pallet, and the number of plastic buckets stacked depends on the size of the pallet. The edge of the plastic bucket must not exceed the edge of the pallet.
3. Pay attention to fixation
The chemical plastic drums piled up on the pallet should be packaged and fixed with wrapping film. During packaging, it is necessary to prevent the plastic drums from kneading and deforming each other, with a deformation amount of ≤ 5%.
