Matters related to the safety technical specification of n-hexane and ethyl acetate

Smelling the properties of n-hexane and ethyl acetate, it is clear that its safety endangers protection and is essential for business. Detailed below.

n-hexane is a colorless and volatile liquid. Its gas is specific and has the properties of anesthesia and irritation. In industrial use, it is often used as a solvent and diluent. However, it is flammable and can easily explode when exposed to open flames and hot topics. If people inhale it, they may feel dizzy, headache, nausea, or vomiting in the early stage, but it will damage the nervous system and cause movement disorders and other diseases.

Ethyl acetate is also a colorless and transparent liquid, fragrant and volatile. Combustible, its vapor is mixed with air and can form an explosive mixture. When exposed to humans, high concentration inhalation can cause eye, nose, throat irritation, and even pulmonary edema.

For safe operation, both need to be strictly controlled. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. When operating, strictly avoid open flames, wear anti-static clothing, and wear protective equipment.

In case of n-hexane or ethyl acetate leakage, quickly cut off the source, withdraw people to a safe place, and prohibit fire. When a small amount of leakage is made, use sand or its non-combustible materials to absorb it; when a large amount of leakage is made, build an embankment to contain it and then deal with it.

First aid method, if inhaled, quickly move to a fresh air place; if the skin or eyes touch it, immediately rinse with a lot of water.

Knowing the characteristics of n-hexane and ethyl acetate and following safety regulations can avoid danger and ensure people's safety and prosperity.
