How To Properly Store Rubber Threads

While storing rubber threads for a longer time, there may be changes in their physical properties. Rubber threads may harden, soften, crack, or even deform in containers or storage closets. These changes may happen due to environmental circumstances such as light, oxygen, ozone, heat, moisture, or other external solvents.


The method and environment of storing rubber threads will greatly affect its longevity. There are several things to consider when it comes to maintaining product reliability and durability, find out more below.

  • Temperature. Storage temperatures for rubber threads should be between 5°C and 25°C. This temperature range is ideal for keeping the product dry and ensuring no deformation happens during storage. Avoid direct contact with heat sources such as radiators or sunlight.

  • Humidity. Keep the relative humidity of the storage area below 70 percent. Avoid extremely humid or dry conditions that may cause degradation.

  • Airtight Containers. Store rubber threads in airtight containers to prevent exposure to circulating air. This helps maintain a stable environment and prevents moisture from entering the containers.

  • Positioning and Handling. Store rubber threads in a relaxed position, free from tension or compression. This will help prevent physical changes such as hardening, softening, or cracking. Additionally, handle their storage containers with care and avoid shaking the container violently to avoid them from becoming knotted.

  • Inventory Management. Implement a first-in, first-out inventory system to make sure that older stock is being used before newer stock. This will help prevent mixing different shipments and ensure that older stock is not left unused for extended periods.

  • Cleaning and Maintenance. Periodically clean and maintain the equipment and storage area that are used to handle rubber threads. This will help prevent contamination and dust from affecting the products as well as guarantee storage conditions are kept in tip-top shape.
