Recommendations for storing aluminum profiles

Storage recommendations:

• When storing profiles packed in cardboard packaging, open the front surfaces, and in the case of foil packaging, cut the foil and store it loose (profiles only separated to prevent possible damage). The place where the profiles are stored should be dry, with constant temperature and humidity, without the possibility of dust or dust on the profile surface. The room should be well ventilated.

• It is unacceptable to cut profiles in packages or do any other work on the profiles without first unpacking.
• Particular attention should be paid to the height and method of setting the yokes – if the yoke is stored too high or the yoke is placed on the profiles, the stacked profiles may fall over or the profiles may be deformed under their own weight.

Recommendations for uncoated profiles

Corrosion changes may occur when profiles come into contact with moisture or acidic or alkaline substances. Crevice corrosion may occur in uncoated profiles if adjacent profiles are exposed to rain or moisture condensation during storage and transportation. This may result in surface discoloration and blemishes that are difficult to remove. However, this does not affect durability. Uncoated profiles should not be stored outdoors. Under the influence of oxygen or moisture, they may become discolored. Uncoated profiles that have been exposed to moisture should be unpacked and dried immediately. Uncoated profiles should be stored in a dry room where there are no temperature fluctuations that could promote condensation. Touching uncoated aluminum profiles without gloves may lead to corrosion caused by sweat (acidic reaction), therefore, always use gloves when working with uncoated profiles.
