1. Thoroughly Clean and Dry
Immediately after use, clean any remaining paint from the can to prevent it from drying and becoming difficult to remove. Metal cans should be treated with rust prevention, and plastic cans should be protected from direct sunlight and deformation.
After cleaning, ensure they are completely dry to prevent residual moisture from causing secondary contamination or rusting.
2. Sealed Storage
Empty cans or leftover paint should be tightly sealed to prevent dust and moisture from entering, or solvent evaporation from contaminating the environment.
Metal cans can be coated with rust prevention oil, and plastic cans should be protected from stacking, which may cause deformation and leaks.
3. Separate Storage
Store different types of paint or solvents separately to prevent mixing and cross-contamination.
Store in a cool, well-ventilated, dark place, away from fire and high temperatures (≤30°C).
4. Use Leak-Proof Trays
Use leak-proof trays for storage to prevent leaks from contaminating the floor or causing a fire.
Pattern trays should be cleaned regularly to prevent residual paint from accumulating. 5. Proper Operation and Protection
Wear gloves and goggles when handling paint to avoid skin contact and inhalation of paint mist.
Clean tools promptly after painting to prevent residual paint from contaminating other items.
6. Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect the seal of the paint can. Replace any damage or deformation immediately.
Paint that has not been used for a long time should be shaken or stirred regularly to prevent sedimentation and deterioration.
