The storage and maintenance of galvanized products in the rainy season do require special attention to prevent white rust caused by the humid environment. The following are some summaries and suggestions to help users better store and handle galvanized steel plastic products:
Tips for storing galvanized steel and plastic products during the rainy season
Storage location:
Try to store the steel-plastic pipes flat indoors and away from heat sources.
If outdoor storage is necessary, be sure to take measures to protect it from rain and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or severe cold.
Ambient temperature:
The storage environment temperature should be kept between -30℃ and 45℃.
Stack away from direct contact with wet soil to reduce the risk of moisture.
How to deal with water ingress or moisture
The whole unit is flooded:
If water is found in the entire product, it should be disassembled immediately and placed in a well-ventilated place to dry.
White rust appears on the surface:
If slight white rust or spots appear on the surface, they must be disassembled and dried immediately, and wiped off in time after the white rust turns into powder.
Can be covered with hot dip galvanized manual self-painting to restore the rust protection effect.
Notes
Avoid sealed storage: Although galvanized products are not afraid of rain, if they are sealed in a humid environment, water accumulation inside will cause alkali reversion. Therefore, try to avoid packaging and sealing products such as galvanized pipes.
Timely treatment: If water is found in the entire product, it should be treated within 1-2 days to prevent the formation of white rust.
Through the above measures, the service life of galvanized steel-plastic products can be effectively extended and their good anti-rust performance can be maintained. We hope that our users can pay attention to these little common senses of storage and handling to ensure the quality and safety of the products.
