Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) is a highly effective water treatment chemical, but its performance can be significantly impacted by improper storage and handling. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of PAC, understanding these critical aspects is key to ensuring that the product delivered to your facility maintains its intended quality and efficacy. Adhering to best practices not only preserves the chemical's properties but also ensures safety and operational efficiency.

One of the most critical factors in storing PAC is preventing moisture absorption. PAC, particularly in its powder form, is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Exposure to humidity can lead to caking and agglomeration, reducing its solubility and overall effectiveness. To counteract this, PAC should always be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use. If you are receiving PAC in bags, ensure they are properly closed and, if possible, stored on pallets away from direct contact with floors, which can sometimes be a source of dampness.

Temperature also plays a role in PAC stability. While PAC is generally stable, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, both high and low, can affect its properties. High temperatures, especially direct sunlight, can exacerbate caking and degrade the product over time. Conversely, very low temperatures might, in some cases, lead to crystallization. Therefore, storing PAC in a location with a stable, moderate temperature is recommended. Avoid storing PAC near heat sources or in areas prone to significant temperature fluctuations.

When handling PAC, safety precautions are paramount. Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided by the manufacturer. Typically, this involves wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, eye protection (goggles or face shield), and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact. Inhalation of dust from powdered PAC should also be avoided; adequate ventilation or respiratory protection may be necessary in dusty environments. Ensure that safety warning signs are clearly visible in storage and handling areas.
