roper storage and handling of mineral wool insulation are crucial for maintaining its insulating properties and durability.
Protection against weather conditions
Outdoor storage: If mineral wool insulation is stored outdoors, it should be protected from precipitation and excessive sunlight. Products should be stored following the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle to ensure optimal stock rotation.
Indoor storage: If the packaging is damaged or opened, the material should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas to prevent moisture condensation. If this is not possible, the wool should be placed under a shelter, ensuring low air humidity around the material.
Substrate and stability
- Substrate: Pallets with mineral wool insulation should be placed on a stable and hardened surface to prevent settling and potential material damage.
- Stability: Storage on unprepared surfaces should be avoided, as it may cause damage or deformation of the product.
Stacking of pallets
- Avoiding Stacking: Pallet stacking is not allowed to prevent material deformation and distortion.
Storage after opening the packaging
Protection: After opening the packaging, the mineral wool should be protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
Damaged Packaging: Damaged packaging requires additional protection to eliminate the impact of atmospheric conditions.
Additional notes
Recipient’s Responsibility: Upon receiving the goods, the recipient assumes full responsibility for any damage resulting from improper storage.
