HANDLING PALLETS OF
CHEMCAST® GP AND VICAL SHEET Sheets of CHEMCAST® GP acrylic plastic are
shipped ion heavy duty pallets weighing approximately 2500
pounds. The number
of sheets on each pallet depends on
the size and thickness of the sheets. All possible care should be used in handling
the pallets to prevent damage to the CHEMCAST® GP. Fork lift
trucks, where they are available, should be used to transport the
pallets. STORAGE OF CHEMCAST® GP AND VICAL SHEETS Pallets of CHEMCAST® GP sheet should be stored
on edge at a 10 degree angle from the vertical. Two by three inch
wood strips placed on the floor about 42 inches apart will keep
package edges off the floor and make the pallets easier to lift
with fork lifts or hand trucks. Formed sections of CHEMCAST® GP must be stored
in relatively cool areas. If the parts are to be stacked, they
must not be nested, but placed in simple frames or racks which
fully support the parts so that they will not deform. CHEMCAST® GP is a slow burning plastic
material and should be treated as an ordinary combustible
material like wood. Both materials will ignite and burn if placed
in an open flame or in direct contact with any other source of
ignition. The "A" frame is constructed of
plywood and slotted angle iron. The supporting floor of each
partition is i/2 inch thick plywood. The floor panel may be
covered with galvanized sheet metal for increased wear
resistance. The racks are built in the "A" shape to
equalize the weight and eliminate stresses on building walls. |
