Basic knowledge and storage methods of chemical barrels

　　We all know that chemical barrels in Wuhan are a special tool used for stacking or transporting various liquid substances. Such chemical barrels generally have certain good characteristics for relatively special or hazardous materials, and they do not easily crush the transported items. At the same time, they do not rust, and the quality of chemical barrels is also quite light, with features that do not wrinkle, among other characteristics.

　　It is precisely because the characteristics of chemical barrels are quite extensive and not many in number that their application scope is also quite large, used in many necessary enterprises. Because they meet the standards we use, they are continuously applied. So where are they used? Generally, they are found in chemical raw materials or other fields involving liquid and solid objects.

　　Therefore, what should we pay attention to when using chemical barrels? Although we all know that the lifespan of chemical barrels is particularly long, in long-term transportation situations, when transportation is needed, it is recommended that we lift them gently and place them carefully. Moreover, if they are not properly maintained, even the best quality products will have a shortened lifespan. Additionally, during hot filling, the temperature should generally not exceed sixty degrees, as that is the level that chemical barrels can withstand. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to various issues to prevent unnecessary losses in the future.

　　How should chemical barrels be stored?

　　1. Chemical barrels should not be placed in exposed environments, as exposure to sunlight can cause chemical changes, producing some harmful elements, which can also affect normal use.

　　2. The storage of chemical barrels must also avoid ultraviolet light, as photochemical reactions can cause molecular chain breakage. Among all types of light, the shorter the wavelength, the greater the energy, which can accelerate the aging of plastic barrels. When plastics and plastic devices absorb light energy, they generate dispersed functional groups, which can lead to and accelerate some harmful reactions.

　　3. Additionally, when chemical barrels are exposed to sunlight, there is generally a change in environmental temperature, which can be considered as heat exposure. The rise in temperature can accelerate the spread of oxygen, thereby increasing the oxidation rate, causing thermal gelation and cracking, and coming into contact with oxygen or even reactive oxygen in the air. Excessive gelation or molecular chain cleavage can accelerate aging.

　　4. Besides this, some external factors such as water, high-energy radiation sources, and surrounding substances can also cause chemical changes in chemical barrels. Therefore, proper storage is necessary to extend the lifespan of chemical barrels, so do not leave chemical barrels exposed to sunlight for long periods.
