Ethyl Acetate Precautions
Precautions for ethyl acetate
Ethyl acetate is a commonly used agent in chemical industry. When using it, many things must be paid attention to.

First storage. It is volatile and flammable, and should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30 ° C, and keep the container sealed. Do not mix with oxidants, acids, and alkalis to prevent violent reactions and hazards.

Furthermore, the use process should also be cautious. The workplace should have good ventilation conditions, and the operator must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that the operator wear a self-priming filter gas mask (half mask), wear chemical safety protective glasses, wear anti-static work clothes, and wear rubber oil-resistant gloves to protect their own safety. During operation, it is necessary to prevent the leakage of steam into the air of the workplace and avoid contact with oxidants, acids, and alkalis. When filling, the flow rate should be controlled, and there is a grounding device to prevent the accumulation of static electricity. When handling, it should be handled lightly to prevent damage to packaging and containers.

Emergency treatment should not be ignored. In the event of a leak, quickly evacuate the personnel from the contaminated area of the leak to the safe area, and isolate them, and strictly restrict access. Cut off the source of fire. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and wear anti-static work clothes. Cut off the source of leakage as much as possible. Prevent it from flowing into restricted spaces such as sewers and drainage ditches. Small leaks: Absorb with activated carbon or other inert materials. It can also be rinsed with a large amount of water, diluted with washing water and placed in the wastewater system. Large leaks: Construct embankments or dig pits for containment. Cover with foam to reduce vapor disasters. Transfer to a tanker or special collector with an explosion-proof pump for recycling or transportation to a waste treatment site for disposal.

Only by specifying the above precautions for ethyl acetate, operating with caution and properly responding to it can we ensure the safety of chemical production and use.
