What protection measures should be taken for film-faced birch plywood when storing

Film-Faced Birch Plywood is a high-performance, versatile building and decoration material. The scientific protection measures during its storage process are crucial to ensure its structural integrity, surface integrity and performance stability. Choosing a suitable storage environment is the top priority, and dry and well-ventilated warehouse space should be given priority to avoid the adverse effects of moisture and high temperature on the board. A humid environment will cause the sheet to absorb moisture, which will affect its dimensional stability and structural strength, and may also cause moisture, deformation or peeling of the protective film. High temperature environments may accelerate the aging of the adhesive, thereby damaging the overall performance of the board. Therefore, a constant temperature and humidity should be maintained in the warehouse, the ideal relative humidity should be controlled at around 50%, and the temperature should be maintained at around 20 degrees Celsius to avoid drastic temperature changes to reduce the risk of deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

Good ventilation is another important factor in the storage environment. Ensuring air circulation helps to eliminate moisture inside the board and avoid mold or discoloration caused by moisture accumulation. At the same time, direct sunlight should be avoided, especially during high temperatures in summer. UV exposure will damage the Film-Faced Birch Plywood surface film, causing discoloration, brittleness or peeling of the film layer, thereby affecting its appearance and waterproof performance. To this end, sunshade measures can be set up in the warehouse or ultraviolet-proof covering materials to effectively protect the surface of the board. In addition, the sheet should be avoided to be stored near heat sources, chemical corrosion sources or areas with strong vibrations to prevent irreversible effects of thermal radiation, chemical reactions or mechanical damage on the sheet.

In terms of storage methods, reasonable stacking methods should be adopted to avoid the plates from directly contacting the ground to prevent moisture absorption and pollution. It is recommended to use wooden or plastic pallets to stack the boards neatly and the stacking height should be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid collapse or deformation caused by unstable stacking. There should be sufficient ventilation space between the stacks to ensure air circulation and reduce the accumulation of moisture inside the plate. When stacking, it is also necessary to avoid excessive pressure or local stress on the plate, especially at the corners, to prevent local deformation or cracks. For boards stored for a long time, their status should be checked regularly, pay special attention to the integrity of the surface film, and abnormal situations such as bubbles, peeling or discoloration should be detected and dealt with in a timely manner to ensure the performance of the board.

During storage, avoiding contact with corrosive substances is another key measure to protect the sheet. Substances including acids, alkalis, oils and chemical cleaning agents may cause damage to the surface film, or even damage the internal structure of the board, thereby affecting its performance. Therefore, the storage area should be kept clean and prevent dust, soil and other pollutants from adhering to the surface of the board to avoid affecting its appearance and subsequent construction results. For boards that require long-term storage, effective dust protection measures are recommended, such as covering them with plastic cloth or dust covers, to ensure that the boards are not contaminated by dust during storage, thereby maintaining their ideal use condition.
