How to store zinc oxide powder scientifically

How to store zinc oxide powder scientifically

zinc oxide powder is used in rubber, ceramics, paint factories and cement, some food and drug industries, etc., these will use zinc oxide powder as an additive to improve the performance and use value of the product. How should manufacturers buy a large amount of zinc oxide powder? Next, the editor will tell everyone about the precautions!

1. Waterproof and moisture-proof

Waterproof and moisture-proof work will attract attention in all kinds of industrial production. I believe that the staff will also do a good waterproof and moisture-proof work when storing and storing. It is worth noting that if there is water leakage in the storage place, it must be wet. The zinc oxide powder in the water is placed separately from the dry one to avoid secondary cross-contamination.

2. Keep sealed

As we all know, zinc oxide powder is very easy to chemically react with oxygen in the air, resulting in secondary oxidation, so when storing, you must first do the sealing work, although the sealing measures have been taken during production and transportation, if the user hoards a certain amount For zinc oxide powder, it is important to do a good job of sealing in the warehouse, and regularly check the sealing condition of the zinc oxide powder drum.

3. Avoid high temperature

Many people think that the high temperature environment has negligible impact on zinc oxide powder in barrels, but it is not. Many barrels of zinc oxide powder generally use rubber barrels. Under the conditions of continuous high temperature, the powdered zinc oxide powder in the barrel can easily corrode the outer packaging, produce toxic and harmful gases, and harm the human body and pollute the environment.

4. Avoid other reactions

In chemistry, zinc oxide powder is a substance that easily reacts with other gases, especially acids and bases. If there are acid-base gases or substances in the storage environment of zinc oxide powder, tin oxide will chemically react with these acids and bases, destroying the original structure. If a large-scale cross-reaction occurs, the economic loss will be immeasurable.

The above four points are the main points for attention, and you can feel at ease in normal storage.
