[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transport of plasticizers

In the field of chemical production raw materials, plasticizers are widely used additives to improve the flexibility, plasticity and ductility of plastics. However, due to the toxicity of plasticizers, it is necessary to strictly comply with relevant regulations during storage and transportation to ensure safety. This article will detail the safe storage and transportation specifications of plasticizers.

1. the harmfulness of plasticizers

plasticizers are harmful to humans and the environment. Some common plasticizers, such as phthalate esters (PAEs), are considered endocrine disruptors that may affect the reproductive systems of humans and animals. In addition, plasticizers may also pollute water and soil and destroy the ecological balance. Therefore, when storing and transporting plasticizers, effective measures must be taken to reduce their hazards.

2. Plasticizer storage specifications

1. Storage facilities: Plasticizers should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated special warehouse, away from fire, heat and direct sunlight. The warehouse floor should be non-slip and have anti-seepage function to prevent plasticizer leakage from polluting the soil and groundwater.
2. Storage container: The plasticizer should be stored in a special container, and the container should have good sealing performance to prevent leakage. The container shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that it is in good condition.
3. Storage identification: Obvious safety identification shall be set up in the warehouse, including warning signs, safety information cards and emergency plans. At the same time, the name, composition, manufacturer and expiration date of the plasticizer should be indicated on the storage container.

3. plasticizer transportation specifications

1. Transportation vehicles: The transportation of plasticizers should use special vehicles, and the vehicles should have good sealing performance to prevent plasticizer leakage. At the same time, the vehicle should be equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
2. Transport personnel: personnel transporting plasticizers should be professionally trained to understand the nature, hazards and emergency treatment measures of plasticizers. Personal protective articles such as protective clothing and gloves shall be worn during transportation.
3. Transportation routes: safe transportation routes should be selected to avoid sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and water source protection areas. At the same time, long-distance transportation should be avoided as much as possible to reduce the risk during transportation.

4. plasticizer leakage emergency treatment

in the process of storage and transportation, once the plasticizer leakage accident occurs, the following measures should be taken immediately:

1. cut off the leakage source: close the valve or container in the leakage area to prevent the plasticizer from continuing to leak.
2. Evacuate personnel: Evacuate personnel near the leakage area quickly to avoid casualties.
3. Take protective measures: wear protective clothing, gloves and other personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact with plasticizers.
4. Collect the leakage: Use special tools or absorbent materials to collect the leaked plasticizer and prevent it from spreading into the environment.
5. Clean up pollution: clean up and disinfect the leakage area to restore environmental safety.

In short, the safe storage and transportation regulations of plasticizers are essential to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and environmental protection. In actual operation, relevant regulations should be strictly observed, management and supervision should be strengthened to ensure the safe and reliable storage and transportation of plasticizers.
