During transport, foaming agents must be kept dry, well-ventilated, and protected from light, high temperatures, and moisture. Dry-powder foaming agents are susceptible to moisture absorption and caking, while liquid foaming agents may suffer performance degradation or cause container deformation if exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight. Therefore, transport vehicles and containers must be equipped with adequate protective measures to prevent exposure to rain or direct sunlight; furthermore, they must not be transported alongside acids, alkalis, flammable substances, or toxic chemicals.
Dry-powder foaming agents are typically packaged in sealed plastic drums, composite bags, or cardboard drums, whereas liquid foaming agents are packaged in sealed plastic drums or bottles. During transport, measures to prevent shock and tipping should be implemented to avoid package damage or leakage. Packaging must be clearly labeled with the product name, batch number, net weight, handling precautions, and transport symbols to ensure proper handling by personnel. When handling or loading/unloading foaming agents, care should be taken to avoid rough treatment, thereby preventing dust dispersion or liquid spillage; protective gloves and face masks should be worn when necessary. During long-distance transport, the integrity of the packaging should be inspected periodically, and any damage or leakage discovered must be addressed immediately.
