Acoustic Vents Membrane Storage Guide
Proper storage is critical to preserving structural integrity and performance, as improper conditions can degrade material or block porous structure.
-
Control the Storage EnvironmentThe membrane should be kept in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures can cause the membrane's material to soften, shrink, or become brittle—high heat may warp its shape, while freezing conditions can reduce flexibility.High humidity is also harmful, as it can lead to mold growth on the membrane's surface or moisture absorption that clogs its pores, so avoid storing it near water sources or in damp spaces like basements or unventilated closets.
-
Provide Physical ProtectionThe membrane should remain in its original packaging if possible, as this packaging is designed to shield it from scratches, tears, and dust. If the original packaging is unavailable, use clean, soft containers—such as lint-free cloth bags or plastic bins lined with non-abrasive material—to avoid direct contact with sharp or hard objects.Never place heavy items on top of the membrane, as excessive pressure can deform its structure, disrupting the uniformity of its pores and compromising its acoustic and ventilation functions.
-
Avoid ContaminationKeep the membrane away from sources of oil, grease, or chemicals, as these substances can seep into the membrane's pores and create permanent blockages. Ensure the storage area is free from excessive dust.If using open containers, cover them with a clean, breathable fabric to prevent dust accumulation without trapping moisture.
-
Conduct Regular ChecksPeriodically inspect the membrane for signs of damage, such as tears, discoloration, or brittleness.If any issues are found, separate the affected membrane from others to prevent further damage. By following these steps, the Acoustic Vents Membrane will retain its performance characteristics and be ready for use when needed.
