Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
To help ensure ease of storage and handling while maintaining free flowing properties, 3M™ Glass Bubbles Types H50/10000 have been made from a chemically stable glass and are packaged in a heavy duty polyethylene bag within a cardboard container. Minimum storage conditions should be unopened cartons in an unheated warchouse. Under high humidity conditions with the ambient temperature cycling over a wide range, moisture can be drawn into the bag as the temperature drops and the air contracts. The result may be moisture condensation within the bag. Extended exposure to these conditions may result in "eaking" of the 3M™ Glass Bubbles Types H50/10000 to various degrees. To minimize the potential for "caking" and prolong the storage life, the following suggestions are made:
- Carefully re-tie open bags after use.
- If the polyethylene bag is punctured during shipping or handling, use this bag as soon as possible, patch the hole, insert the contents into an undamaged bag.
- During hot and humid months, store in the driest, coolest space available.
- If controlled storage conditions are unavailable, carry a minimum inventory, and process on a first in/first out basis.
- Handling Information
Dusting that may occur while handling and processing can be minimized by the following procedures:
- For eye protection wear chemical safety goggles. For respiratory system protection wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator.
- Use appropriate ventilation in the work area.
- Pneumatic conveyor systems have been used successfully to transport 3M glass bubbles without dusting from shipping containers to batch mixing equipment. Static eliminators should be used to help prevent static charges.
Diaphragm pumps have been used to successfully convey 3M™ Glass Bubbles Types H50/10000. Vendors should be consulted for specific recommendations.
