In the storage and maintenance of disposable wooden tableware, temperature and humidity are key factors affecting its quality and performance. In order to ensure the state of wooden tableware before use, the control of the storage environment is essential.
First of all, the ideal storage temperature of wooden tableware should be kept between 15°C and 25°C. Within this temperature range, wood can maintain good physical properties and structural stability. If the temperature is too high, the moisture in the wood will evaporate quickly, causing problems such as cracking and deformation. Especially in summer or high temperature environment, the drying process of wood will be accelerated, making it brittle and easy to break. In addition, high temperature may also darken the surface color of wooden tableware and affect its appearance. Therefore, when storing, tableware should be avoided from being placed in direct sunlight or high temperature environment to ensure that its physical properties are not damaged.
Humidity is also an important factor affecting the quality of wooden tableware. As a porous material, the moisture content of wood is directly related to physical properties and performance. The ideal storage humidity should be controlled between 30% and 50%. Within this humidity range, wood will neither crack due to excessive dryness nor mold or deform due to excessive moisture. Excessive humidity can cause wooden tableware to absorb moisture, thus breeding mold and affecting the hygiene and safety of tableware. In humid climates, special attention should be paid to moisture-proof when storing wooden tableware. If necessary, desiccant can be used to reduce air humidity and ensure that the storage environment is dry and clean.
When choosing storage equipment, a storage container with good air permeability is essential. It is recommended to use cartons or wooden boxes for storage, and avoid sealed plastic bags or containers, which may cause internal moisture accumulation and increase the risk of tableware mold. At the same time, the storage area should be well ventilated to promote air circulation, effectively reduce humidity, and prevent wooden tableware from deteriorating due to moisture.
In order to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the storage environment are always within the ideal range, regular monitoring is necessary. Equipment such as thermometers and hygrometers can be used for real-time monitoring, and storage conditions can be adjusted according to actual conditions. During transportation, it is also necessary to pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity to avoid the impact of drastic temperature fluctuations and humid environments on tableware. Appropriate packaging materials, such as moisture-proof paper or bubble film, can effectively protect wooden tableware from being squeezed and collided during transportation.
