Storage of Aluminum Powder

What are the requirements for the storage of metal aluminum powder?

With the development of industry, the demand for aluminum powder is increasing. Due to the special properties of aluminum powder, storage after use has also become a problem that every company or factory needs to solve.

To store metal aluminum powder safely and effectively, we must understand the characteristics of aluminum powder.

Generally, the oxide film on the surface of metal aluminum is transparent and has good chemical stability. The aluminum powder used for the pigment refers to the aluminum powder whose particles are scaly, the surface is coated with a treatment agent and is suitable for use as a pigment. Aluminum powder paste is a mixture of aluminum powder pigment and solvent. Its use and characteristics are basically the same as aluminum powder, but because it is easy to use, the output and dosage are larger.

The storage of metal aluminum powder mainly includes the following points:

1. The aluminum powder should be sealed during storage to ensure isolation from the air and prevent oxidation. It can be placed in an airtight tank indoors, and the storage temperature is 15-40°C. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, rain, or high temperatures.

2. Ensure that the storage temperature is not lower than 15℃ (special attention should be paid in winter or when the ambient temperature is lower than 10℃).

3. Bumps and jitters during storage or transportation may cause the separation of aluminum powder components. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid bumps and shaking during use, and avoid using aluminum powder in flammable and explosive areas and open flame areas, which may cause explosions.

The above are the precautions for storage of metal aluminum powder, thank you for reading.
