How Does Zhongsu Wang Prevent Moisture Absorption in TPE Raw Materials?

As a polymer material, TPE raw materials are highly sensitive to environmental humidity. They readily absorb moisture from the air during storage or transportation, leading to degraded material properties, processing difficulties, and even compromised final product quality. Effective moisture management for TPE materials requires a multi-faceted approach encompassing storage environment control, optimized packaging methods, and supplementary protective measures.

What methods does Zhongsu Wang employ to prevent moisture absorption in TPE raw materials?

Maintain a Dry Storage Environment

TPE raw materials should be stored away from humid conditions. It is recommended to keep materials in dry, well-ventilated areas. High humidity environments may cause moisture absorption, adversely affecting subsequent processing performance and finished product quality.

Use Sealed Packaging

During storage and transportation, TPE raw materials should be packaged in sealed containers to isolate them from atmospheric moisture. Sealed packaging effectively minimizes contact with the external environment, thereby reducing the risk of moisture absorption.

Add Desiccants

To further prevent moisture absorption, place an appropriate amount of desiccant inside the packaging. Desiccants absorb moisture within the packaging, maintaining a dry storage environment and extending the service life of TPE raw materials.

Control Storage Duration

Minimize TPE storage cycles to avoid increased moisture absorption from prolonged storage. Inspect packaging integrity before storage and regularly verify compliance with storage conditions.

Preheat Treatment Before Processing

If TPE raw materials have absorbed moisture, perform preheat treatment before processing. Appropriate heating removes surface moisture, restoring processing properties. This step is critical for ensuring final product quality.

The above covers key methods to prevent moisture absorption in TPE raw materials. By controlling storage environments, using sealed packaging, adding desiccants, minimizing storage duration, and implementing pre-processing heating, material moisture absorption can be effectively prevented, safeguarding performance and quality stability.
