Ordinary ceramics (tableware, collectibles): After cleaning and drying, wrap each piece individually in a soft material (such as acid-free paper, foam, or velvet) to avoid stacking or direct contact. Store in a cool, dry cabinet at a constant temperature (15–25℃) and relative humidity of 40–60%, away from direct sunlight and areas with drastic temperature and humidity fluctuations (such as balconies or bathrooms). Valuable items should be stored individually in custom-made brocade boxes with cushioning material.
Advanced/Industrial ceramics (such as metallized alumina, boron nitride, porous ceramics): If they contain hygroscopic surfaces (such as metallized layers or high specific surface area structures), they need to be vacuum-sealed or stored in a desiccator (with desiccant). Use as soon as possible after opening; if necessary, bake at 100–150℃ to remove gas. Dense oxide ceramics (such as 99% alumina) can be stored for a short period in a normal dry environment, but long-term moisture protection is still recommended.
Green ceramics, powdered ceramics, or unsintered ceramic bodies: Highly susceptible to moisture absorption, deformation, or contamination. They should be sealed in plastic bags with a desiccant and stored in a cool, dark place, avoiding contact with moisture sources or chemicals. Follow the "first-in, first-out" principle to prevent deterioration over time.
Storage/Factory Environment: Store ceramics in designated areas, elevate them off the ground (≥15cm), stack them securely (≤1.8m), and clearly label them. Main warehouse temperature control: 18–25℃, humidity: 50–60%, equipped with dehumidification and dust control measures. Do not store with corrosive or volatile substances.
Regardless of the type of ceramic, avoid heavy pressure, impacts, and sudden temperature changes. For long-term display, use a stable, vibration-free rack and regularly check for hidden cracks or mold (especially during the rainy season in southern regions). If used in high-reliability processes (such as vacuum electronics or semiconductors), strictly adhere to the moisture-proof packaging requirements outlined in the Material Data Sheet (MSDS).
