How should fireworks companies do to protect themselves from moisture?

Time flies to the end of 2022, and with the end of the year approaching, the topic of fireworks is gradually coming up to the forefront.

As a special category of products, fireworks are flammable and explosive and are usually stored in special hazardous materials warehouses. For the storage of warehouses, the temperature and humidity control are relatively strict. High temperature, dry air drug sensitive, easy to generate static electricity, explosions, the temperature of the warehouse shall not exceed 35°C; high humidity, due to the fireworks containers are mostly paper, high humidity can easily lead to wet paper, the launch of the drug paper tube without strength, the fire produces low burn, fried tube, warehouse ventilation and dry, relative humidity control at 75% or less, and equipped with the appropriate fire extinguishing equipment.

Which premises in the business are the focus of moisture protection?

1. The main store and transit store of pyrotechnic drugs and bright beads. The dampness of pyrotechnic drugs will affect the performance of the drugs; drugs containing aluminium-magnesium alloy powder or bright pearls will easily cause heat after dampness, and if the heat is not dissipated in time, it may cause spontaneous explosion; black powder is very susceptible to dampness, and military nitrous may cause deliquescence if it is damp, resulting in unusable.

2. Chemical raw material storage. Many chemical raw materials will be caked with moisture.

3. Fuse banks and workshops where fuses are installed. Damp fuses can seriously affect the quality of finished fireworks, resulting in defects such as unlit, unconnected or broken products when they are set off.
Storage of semi-finished products. Some exposed semi-finished products (e.g. inner tubes of combination fireworks immersed in the tail charge) may be affected by moisture.

4. Storage of finished fireworks. Humidity in the finished product storage may lead to moldy and fuse failure; humidity in the packing cartons tends to deform and sometimes causes the stack to collapse.

Many people think that as long as the storehouse does the underground moisture layer can be effective moisture, in fact, indoor moisture, not all from the ground, the most important or from the air, the walls or ground out of water because the air saturated water vapour encountered cold walls or ground and condensed on it. Therefore, it is not enough to have the ground damp-proofed the storage room of a fireworks company, other auxiliary measures must be taken.

The most effective way is of course to install a dehumidifier indoors and carry out de-humidification work regularly, and to install a temperature and humidity meter and a temperature and humidity meter indoors to ensure that the humidity in the warehouse is controlled at less than 75%. If you are worried that the cost of installing a dehumidifier is too large or that it is difficult to transform the lines in the warehouse, we recommend that you use Topone Top - 1000 (1kg), which is visualised to absorb water, has a large volume to absorb water, and has a thoughtful and convenient pallet operation box to easily help you solve the problem of humidity in the warehouse.

Why use Top - 1000 desiccant?

(1) Compare with dehumidifiers: Top - 1000 warehouse type desiccants are more economical and applicable compared to long term start-up 

(2) Compare with quicklime desiccant: quicklime desiccant absorbs water and clumps, the effect of moisture absorption is not obvious, and it is easy to break the package with a little carelessness and pollute the environment; Top - 1000 has a large volume and the package design adopts visualization to absorb water, is more efficient and does not pollute the environment.

(3) Compare with sachet calcium chloride desiccant: the use cycle of sachet calcium chloride desiccant can be kept for 1 month at most, and it is more labor and material resources to replace it. And the moisture absorption cycle of Sunflower desiccant is longer, and it can keep the moisture absorption length for 2-3 months.

In humid weather, various stores must close their doors and windows as often as possible to organise the humid outdoor air into the room, which can also be effective against dampness. However, when the outdoor air is damp, doors and windows should be opened promptly for ventilation to eliminate indoor dampness.

Whether the fuse is in storage or being installed in the workshop, it should be protected from moisture. The most straightforward way to do this is to put the fuse in a plastic bag and tie it tightly. After closing, any remaining fuses in the workshop should always be collected in storage and protected from moisture.

High temperature differences and high air humidity make the core components of fireworks products, such as tubes, bright beads and launch pills, extremely susceptible to moisture, which directly affects the quality of the product. And because multiple parts can be exposed to moisture, once a fireworks company has a quality problem, it sometimes has no way to deal with it.

Topone reminds you that the end of the year is approaching, fireworks business season is approaching, fireworks storage management, transport needs to eliminate safety risks in a timely manner, do a good job of storage moisture, to ensure the safety of the warehouse.
