5、been prepared under the direction of the Rubber Standards Committee. It is based on ISO/TR7664:1984 “Rubber, raw solid natural and synthetic General guidance on storage” published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The principal difference is that in ISO/TR7664 a storage te
6、mperature higher than25 C is permitted and the wording in that subclause (2.2) has been improved in this British Standard to make the meaning clearer. Under unfavourable storage conditions, all types of raw rubber change to a certain extent in physical and/or chemical properties. Ultimately they may
7、 become unserviceable, for example because of hardening, softening, surface degradation and discoloration, resulting in a different behaviour during processing and/or differences in properties of the vulcanizates. These changes may be the result of one particular factor or a combination of factors,
8、mainly the action of oxygen, light, temperature and humidity. The deleterious effects of these factors may, however, be minimized by an appropriate choice of storage conditions. This British Standard, therefore, indicates the most suitable conditions for storage. A British Standard does not purport
9、to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover

11、ble conditions for the storage of raw natural and synthetic rubber delivered in the form of bales. NOTEFor rubber delivered in the form of powder, loose crumb or pellets, extra care should be taken because of the far greater exposed surface area. In addition, “particulate” rubber can agglomerate und
12、er the influence of elevated temperature and/or pressure. 2 Storage accommodation 2.1 General The storage space should be clean, dry, well ventilated and of a moderate temperature. 2.2 Temperature The storage temperature should lie between15 C and25 C. Whereas exposure to too high a temperature may
13、cause irreversible changes to properties, the effect of low temperature may in some cases induce crystallization which is reversible and therefore not permanently deleterious. Crystallized or partially crystallized rubbers are hard and may show difficulties during the mixing process. Such crystalliz
14、ation should be removed by raising the temperature during a sufficient period of time prior to processing. 2.3 Heating Sources of heat in storage rooms should be so arranged and screened that the temperature of the stored rubber does not exceed25 C. 2.4 Humidity Moist conditions should be avoided; s
15、torage conditions should be such that condensation on the rubber or the wrapping does not occur. Moisture can influence the processing and even the cure behaviour of the rubber. Moreover, excessive humidity may cause hydrolysis of certain kinds of rubber. 2.5 Light Raw rubbers should be protected fr
16、om light and in particular from direct sunlight and strong artificial light with a high ultraviolet content. Unless the rubber is packed in opaque wrapping, it is advisable to cover any windows of storage rooms with a red or orange coating or screen. Otherwise, crates or pallets should be covered. T
17、he use of normal incandescent lamps is preferable. 3 Contamination Raw rubber should be protected completely from dust and all other kinds of foreign material, with the exception of the packaging rubber used by the producers for wrapping the bales or packaging the raw rubber. All direct contact with
18、 other kinds of rubber should be avoided. It is recommended that the rubber be kept in the packaging as delivered until required for use. 4 Rotation of stocks Raw rubbers should remain in store for as short a time as possible. Therefore, the rubber should be issued from stores in rotation so that th
19、e rubber remaining in store is of the latest delivery.BS 6882:1987 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL BSIBritishStandardsInstitution BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing BritishStandards.
