1. Packaging Specifications
GLDA·Na₄ is typically packaged in the following forms to ensure stability and ease of transport:
-
Solid (Powder/Granules):
-
25 kg/bag: Multi-layer kraft paper bags with polyethylene (PE) inner lining.
-
500 kg or 1000 kg/jumbo bags: For bulk industrial use (moisture-proof).
-
-
Liquid Solution (Aqueous, ~40% concentration):
-
200 kg/HDPE plastic drums (high-density polyethylene, corrosion-resistant).
-
1000 kg/IBC totes (intermediate bulk containers, suitable for large-scale users).
-
2. Storage Conditions
To maintain product quality, adhere to the following storage guidelines:
-
Temperature:
-
Solid: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place.
-
Liquid: Avoid freezing; store at 5–40°C.
-
-
Humidity: Keep relative humidity < 70% to prevent caking (solid form).
-
Light: Protect from direct sunlight (use opaque or UV-resistant packaging).
-
Shelf Life:
-
Solid: 24 months if unopened and stored properly.
-
Liquid: 12 months (check for precipitation or pH changes over time).
-
3. Handling Precautions
-
Seal Integrity: Reseal bags/drums after use to avoid moisture absorption.
-
Compatibility: Store away from strong acids/oxidizers to prevent reactions.
-
Ventilation: Ensure storage areas are well-ventilated.
4. Transportation
-
Classified as non-hazardous for transport (check local regulations).
-
Avoid mechanical damage to packaging during handling.
For specific requirements, consult the manufacturer’s MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) or TDS (Technical Data Sheet).
