Safety related matters of propyl acetate
Propyl acetate, in the process of use and storage, many safety matters need to be paid attention to. It is volatile, and in poorly ventilated places, gas is easy to accumulate, which may cause the risk of explosion. Therefore, the storage place must be well ventilated, away from fire sources, heat sources and other open flame sources.

When operating, protective measures are indispensable. It is recommended that operators wear suitable protective gloves to avoid direct contact with the skin. Because of its irritating effect on the skin, long-term contact may lead to dry skin, degreasing and other adverse conditions. Eye protection should not be ignored. Goggles should be equipped to prevent liquid from splashing into the eyes and causing damage to the eyes.

Furthermore, if propyl acetate accidentally leaks, it needs to be properly disposed of in a timely manner. In the case of a small amount of leakage, it can be absorbed by inert materials such as sand and vermiculite, and then transferred to a safe container. If there is a large amount of leakage, the surrounding personnel should be evacuated immediately, a warning area should be set up, and an emergency treatment plan should be activated at the same time. Appropriate adsorption materials should be used to contain it to prevent the leakage from spreading to a wider area and causing pollution to the environment.

In addition, in terms of storage, propyl acetate should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse, separated from oxidants and acids, and should not be mixed. The storage area should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment to ensure that it can respond quickly in case of emergencies and ensure the safety of personnel and the environment
