Flame retardant polyphthalamide PPA plastic chips are a high-performance engineering plastic. They are widely used in the fields of automobiles, electronics, and aerospace due to their excellent high temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and flame retardant properties. However, the stability of its performance depends not only on the production process, but also on the storage conditions. Ningbo Frontechnic New Material Technology Co., Ltd., as an innovative enterprise in the field of new materials in China, is well aware of the core needs of material science and has formed systematic technical specifications for the storage management of flame-retardant PPA chips to ensure the quality of the material from production to application throughout its life cycle.
First of all, the storage environment of flame-retardant PPA chips must strictly follow the principles of moisture-proof, light-proof, and constant temperature. Although the PPA material itself has low hygroscopicity, long-term exposure to a humid environment may still cause trace moisture penetration, which in turn affects the subsequent processing performance and the mechanical strength of the product. Therefore, Ningbo Frontechnic New Material Technology Co., Ltd. adopts double-layer moisture-proof packaging technology, with the inner layer being a vacuum aluminum foil bag and the outer layer being a high-strength polyethylene film, combined with desiccant sealing to ensure that the humidity of the material is always below 0.1% during transportation and storage. At the same time, the company has also established a temperature-controlled warehouse to stabilize the ambient temperature below 25°C to prevent high temperatures from causing slice agglomeration or molecular chain degradation.
Secondly, flame-retardant PPA chips are extremely sensitive to chemical pollution. Ningbo Frontechnic New Material Technology Co., Ltd. implements a strict classification storage system in warehouse management, isolates PPA slices from oxidants, acids and alkalis, and sets up a special anti-static area to avoid static electricity adsorbing dust or other pollutants in the air. The company has also introduced an automated storage system to monitor the air quality in the warehouse in real time through intelligent sensors. Once abnormal volatiles or temperature and humidity fluctuations are detected, the system immediately starts the emergency control program. In addition, in response to the possible thermal stability problems of flame retardants added to flame-retardant PPA materials, the company adopts inert gas protection storage technology, filling nitrogen in a closed container to inhibit oxidation reactions and extend the storage period of the material.
In the storage practice of flame-retardant PPA chips, Ningbo Frontechnic New Material Technology Co., Ltd. also pays special attention to the combination of technological innovation and standardization. For example, the "dynamic circulation drying system" developed by the company can perform secondary drying before the material is shipped out of the warehouse to ensure that the moisture content of the slices always meets the requirements of injection molding processing (≤0.15%). This technology not only solves the problems of high energy consumption and low efficiency of traditional static drying, but also automatically optimizes drying parameters according to material batches, and improves the intelligent level of storage management. At the same time, the company actively participates in the formulation of industry standards, integrates storage specifications into the ISO quality management system, and provides downstream customers with one-stop technical guidance from warehousing to processing, reducing the risk of material loss caused by improper storage.
In Ningbo, a city known as the "highland of new material industry", the innovative practice of Ningbo Frontechnic New Material Technology Co., Ltd. not only reflects the company's deep understanding of material science, but also shows the improvement of the competitiveness of Chinese new material companies in the global industrial chain. By continuously optimizing storage technology and strengthening process control, the company has successfully improved the storage stability of flame-retardant PPA chips to the international advanced level, providing reliable guarantees for the application of high-value-added fields such as high-voltage connectors for new energy vehicles and 5G communication equipment. In the future, as the new material industry upgrades towards greening and digitalization, Ningbo Frontechnic New Material Technology Co., Ltd.'s technological accumulation will set a higher benchmark for the industry.
