1. Temperature and humidity control
When storing Pearl Cotton, temperature and humidity control is crucial. Pearl Cotton should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid moisture. Excessive humidity will soften Pearl Cotton, reduce its cushioning properties, and may even cause mold. At the same time, avoid too high a storage environment temperature, because high temperature may cause Pearl Cotton to deform, shrink, or lose elasticity. Generally speaking, the storage temperature should be kept within a relatively stable range, preferably between 20℃ and 30℃, and the relative humidity should be controlled at 50% to 60%. For example, if stored in a damp basement, Pearl Cotton can easily absorb moisture, affecting its quality and performance.
2. Avoid heavy pressure and extrusion
When storing Pearl Cotton, avoid heavy pressure and extrusion. Although Pearl Cotton has a certain elasticity, if it is subjected to heavy pressure or extrusion for a long time, it may cause deformation and be difficult to restore to its original state, thus affecting its use effect. Therefore, Pearl Cotton should be placed on a shelf or on a flat ground to avoid stacking too high or placing it together with heavy objects. If it must be stacked for storage, the stacking height should be controlled and pads should be placed between each layer to disperse the pressure. For example, when storing Pearl Cotton in a warehouse, other heavy objects cannot be stacked directly on top of Pearl Cotton to avoid damage.
3. Keep away from fire and chemicals
Pearl Cotton is a flammable material and must be stored away from fire. Any open flame, high temperature source or electrical equipment may cause a fire. At the same time, Pearl Cotton should also be kept away from chemicals, as some chemicals may corrode Pearl Cotton and destroy its structure and performance. For example, Pearl Cotton should not be stored near paint, solvents or other flammable chemicals. Obvious fire signs should be set up around the storage area, and necessary fire-fighting equipment should be equipped to ensure safety.
4. Regular inspection and maintenance
In order to prevent Pearl Cotton from being damaged during storage, regular inspection and maintenance should be carried out. Check whether the storage environment meets the requirements, such as whether the temperature and humidity are normal, and whether there are any water leaks or rain leaks. At the same time, check whether the appearance of Pearl Cotton is deformed, damaged, moldy, etc. If any problems are found, measures should be taken in time to deal with them. For example, if Pearl Cotton is found to be damp, it should be taken out and dried in time; if it is damaged, it should be replaced or repaired in time. Regular inspection and maintenance can ensure that Pearl Cotton always remains in good condition during storage, providing protection for subsequent use. In short, when storing Pearl Cotton, pay attention to temperature and humidity control, avoid heavy pressure and extrusion, keep away from fire and chemicals, and conduct regular inspections and maintenance to prevent damage.
