Venting Membrane Storage Protocol

Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain membrane performance characteristics until installation.

Environmental Control

Temperature & Humidity Requirements

  • Maintain storage temperature between 15–25°C (59–77°F)
  • Keep relative humidity at 40–60%
  • Avoid locations with frequent temperature fluctuations

Packaging & Handling

Storage Containment

  • Store in original packaging whenever possible
  • For repackaging, use airtight opaque containers or polyethylene bags
  • Label containers with purchase dates and expiration information

Physical Protection

  • Avoid stacking heavy objects on membranes
  • Prevent folding or creasing of thin films
  • For adhesive-backed variants, ensure release liner integrity

Hazard Prevention

Environmental Hazards

  • Protect from direct sunlight (UV degradation)
  • Store separately from solvents and corrosive substances
  • Keep away from heat sources and ignition points
Critical Note: Condensation inside packaging can occur with temperature fluctuations — avoid storage near heating vents or drafty areas.

Inventory Management

Stock Rotation

  • Implement FIFO (First-In-First-Out) system
  • Regularly inspect stored membranes for signs of degradation
  • Perform quarterly inventory checks for long-term storage
