Acetone and triacetin safety data table related matters

Acetone and triacetin are widely used in industry and many fields. It is essential to clarify its safety data table.

Acetone is volatile and flammable. For storage, it should be placed in a cool and well-ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, and the storage temperature should not exceed 29 ° C. Packaging must be sealed to prevent leakage. When handling, it should be handled lightly to avoid damage to packaging and containers.

Triacetin is relatively stable, but it also needs to be stored reasonably. Store in a dry and ventilated warehouse, away from fire sources and oxidants.

During use, when exposed to acetone, operators need to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gas masks, chemical safety protective glasses, etc., to prevent inhalation, ingestion or skin contact damage. Although triacetin is relatively harmless, care should also be taken to avoid long-term skin contact and inhalation during operation.

Once acetone leakage occurs, personnel in the contaminated area of the leakage should be quickly evacuated to the safe area, and quarantined, and access should be strictly restricted. Cut off the source of fire. Emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and fire protective clothing to cut off the source of leakage as much as possible to prevent it from flowing into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood drains. Small leaks are adsorbed or absorbed by sand or other non-combustible materials. They can also be rinsed with a large amount of water, diluted with washing water and discharged into the wastewater system. A large number of leaks should be constructed into embankments or excavated for containment, covered with foam to reduce steam disasters, and transferred to a tanker or a special collector with an explosion-proof pump, recycled or transported to a waste treatment site for disposal.

If triacetin leaks, it should be cleaned in time to avoid diffusion. A small amount of leaks can be wiped and collected with a rag. A large number of leaks need to be collected in a designated container with suitable tools and disposed of according to regulations.

In short, be familiar with the safety data table of acetone and triacetin, and strictly abide by the operating specifications and safety measures to achieve the purpose of safe use and storage, and avoid harmful accidents.
