Safety Notice for Storage of Aluminum Powder for Aerated Concrete Blocks

To standardize the storage management of aluminum powder and prevent the risk of fire and explosion, the storage requirements for aluminum powder used in block production are reminded as follows. Relevant positions are required to strictly follow and implement them.
1、 Store in a dedicated warehouse and strictly prohibit mixing
Aluminum powder must be stored in an independent, dry, and ventilated dedicated warehouse. It is strictly prohibited to store it together with oxidants, acids, bases, oils, and flammable materials. Different specifications of aluminum powder should be labeled in different areas.
2、 Strict control of temperature and humidity
The temperature in the warehouse should be ≤ 35 ℃ and the humidity should be ≤ 75%. The temperature and humidity should be recorded daily. If they exceed the standard, ventilation and dehumidification should be carried out to prevent aluminum powder from absorbing moisture, clumping, and decreasing activity.
3、 Keep sealed, moisture-proof and dustproof
Aluminum powder maintains original factory sealed packaging and is promptly sealed after opening; The warehouse is equipped with dry powder fire extinguishers, dry sand, and anti-static flooring to prevent open flames and static sparks.
4、 Limited storage, ledger management
