Did the transportation of hot melt adhesive particles overturn the vehicle? A logistics lesson

Hot melt adhesive granulesTransport overturned the vehicle? A logistics lesson

A packaging factory found regular freight at a cheap price, and in the summer, they piled up 25kg/pack of hot melt adhesive particles in the carriage and exposed them to the sun for a whole day. Upon arrival and unpacking, the outer layers of several packages have slightly adhered and the bag surface has become soft. After installation, it was found that the flowability has deteriorated and there are occasional rubber blocks blocking the tube.

The problem lies in the transportation chain

Hot melt adhesive particles are afraid of two things: high temperature and moisture. The stuffiness of the carriage makes the local temperature approach the softening point, and the particles become soft and agglomerated; If it gets damp in rainy weather again, it will melt and bubble. The goods themselves are not damaged, it is a mistake in the ‘transportation posture’.

How did it change later

• Choose a carrier with tarpaulin/temperature control to avoid exposure to sunlight and rain.
• Stack for ventilation, do not stick to the car wall, reduce heat absorption.
• Upon arrival, check the outer packaging and batch number first. If any lumps are found, pick them out and handle them separately.
• After switching to Sunlife hot melt adhesive, Guangzhou Sunlife Trading provided packaging and transportation recommendations based on distance, ensuring stable hand condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can lumps still be used during transportation?
Answer: Mild softening and loosening can be used, but severe oil production and clumping should be discontinued.

Question: How to transport long distances in summer?
Answer: Temperature controlled vehicles or night shipments should be avoided from direct sunlight at noon.

Q: What needs to be inspected upon arrival?
Answer: Check the batch number, seal, and whether there is any moisture or clumping, and keep the sample for future reference.
