What are the effects of freezing during ion membrane transport?
Thread Content
The ion exchange membranes we purchased suffered slight freezing during transportation, causing the temperature sensors in the packaging boxes to turn red. What is the impact on the use of ion exchange membranes? Thank you for the advice!
The ion membrane is moist by nature, and freezing indicates that the water within the membrane has expanded. Theoretical analysis: 1. It may increase the ion channels (it is unknown whether this exceeds their elastic limit) ； 2. Prone to pinholes. This, in turn, has an impact on current efficiency and the like. It is recommended to contact the manufacturer for handling.
The strength decreases; there is no noticeable difference in the initial stage of use, but the lifespan **is reduced**
