To properly store EVA film rolls for laminated glass, follow these guidelines:
Use a First-In, First-Out System: Always use up older film rolls before opening a newer one to maintain the quality and performance of the laminated glass. Avoid Overlapping Rolls: Ensure that film rolls are not overlapped to prevent damage and ensure proper bonding during lamination. Proper Handling and Safety: Handle film rolls with care to prevent damage. Large, wide-format rolls should be stored horizontally to prevent toppling and potential harm to other rolls or people. Use core plugs for stacking to keep rolls in place. Environmental Conditions: Store film rolls indoors and out of direct sunlight to maintain their quality. Ensure the storage area is temperature and humidity controlled to prevent degradation over time. Cleanliness: Keep film rolls clean by storing them in bags, especially for materials like OPP and PET films. This helps prevent contamination that could affect the quality of the laminated glass. Material-Specific Storage: For materials like nylon and cellulose, which are sensitive to moisture, store them in metalized bags to preserve their properties. Cellulose rolls should be handled with care to prevent nicks or tears. Organization and Labeling: Organize film rolls properly and label them with their product number and any necessary descriptors. This helps in maintaining an efficient workflow and avoiding confusion.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that EVA film rolls are stored properly, maintaining their quality and performance for laminated glass applications.
