Safety-related matters of ethyl acetate
Ethyl acetate is widely used in the chemical industry. However, its safety cannot be ignored, and the following are relevant safety points.
Safety Tips for Ethyl Acetate
1. ** Storage Safety **: Ethyl acetate should be stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources, and the storage temperature should not exceed 30 ° C. Keep the container sealed and must not be mixed with oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc., to prevent dangerous chemical reactions. The warehouse needs to be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire-fighting equipment, and the storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
2. ** Safe to use **: During the use of ethyl acetate, the operator must strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended to wear a self-priming filter gas mask (half mask), wear chemical safety glasses, wear anti-static overalls, and wear rubber oil-resistant gloves to prevent contact with ethyl acetate and cause harm to the body. The place of use should have good ventilation conditions to reduce the concentration of ethyl acetate in the air and avoid the formation of explosive mixtures.
3. ** Transportation safety **: When transporting ethyl acetate, make sure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or damage. The transportation vehicle should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. It is best to transport it in the morning and evening in summer to prevent sunlight exposure. Stay away from fire and heat sources during stopovers. Road transportation should follow the specified route, do not stop in residential areas and densely populated areas. It is forbidden to slip during railway transportation.
For ethyl acetate, all links from storage, use to transportation must be treated with caution, and safety tips must be strictly followed to ensure the safety of personnel and the smooth progress of production activities.
