[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of isobutyl acrylate

The safe storage and transportation specification
of isobutyl acrylate
1. Introduction

Isobutyl acrylate is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in coatings, plastics, rubber, fibers and other fields. However, because isobutyl acrylate has flammable, explosive, and toxic properties, relevant safety regulations must be strictly observed during storage and transportation to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.

2. the physical and chemical properties of isobutyl acrylate

isobutyl acrylate is a colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor. The steam and air can form an explosive mixture, fire, high heat caused by combustion explosion. Isobutyl acrylate has a strong stimulating effect on the eyes and upper respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentrations of isobutyl acrylate can cause laryngeal edema, pulmonary edema, bronchitis, etc. Skin contact can cause burns.

3. isobutyl acrylate safe storage specification

1. storage place should be cool, ventilated, away from fire, heat source. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 30 ℃.
2. Should be stored separately from the oxidant, acid, do not mix storage. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities shall be adopted. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
3. The staff shall be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filtering respirator (half mask), chemical safety goggles, anti-static overalls and rubber oil-resistant gloves.

4. isobutyl acrylate safety transport specification

1. transport vehicles should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle to which this product is shipped shall be equipped with a fire retardant device. During transportation, ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall or damage. It is strictly prohibited to mix with oxidants, acids, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it shall be protected from sun exposure, rain and high temperature.
2. Isobutyl acrylate in the transport process to prevent exposure, rain, high temperature, and with the oxidant, acid stored separately, do not mix storage. During transportation, it shall be protected from sun exposure, rain and high temperature. Stay away from kindling and heat sources during stopover. The vehicles shall be thoroughly cleaned after transportation.

5. leakage emergency treatment

1. Quickly evacuate the personnel from the leakage pollution area to the safety area, isolate them and strictly restrict access. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and anti-static overalls. Cut off the leak source as much as possible. Prevent from flowing into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood drainage ditches.
2. Small amount of leakage: adsorption or absorption with sand or other non-combustible materials. Can also be washed with a lot of water, wash water diluted into the waste water system. Large leakage: build embankments or dig pits to contain. Cover with foam to reduce steam disasters. Transfer to tank truck or special collector with explosion-proof pump, recycle or transport to waste treatment site for disposal.

6. first aid measures

1. skin contact: immediately remove contaminated clothing, with soap and water and thoroughly rinse the skin. Seek medical attention.
2. Eye contact: Lift the eyelid and flush with flowing water or normal saline. Seek medical attention.
3. Inhalation: Quickly leave the site to fresh air. Keep the airway unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Intake: Drink plenty of warm water to induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.

7. fire protection measures

1. fire extinguishing method: as far as possible the container from the fire to the open place. Spray water to keep the fire container cool until the end of the fire. Containers in a fire scene that have discolored or produced sound from the safety pressure relief device must be evacuated immediately. Fire extinguishing agent: anti-soluble foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand. Fire extinguishing with water is ineffective.
2. Fire-fighting precautions and measures: Firefighters must wear gas masks and full-body fire-fighting clothing to put out the fire in the upwind direction. Move the container from the fire to the open as much as possible. Spray water to keep the fire container cool until the end of the fire. Containers in a fire scene that have discolored or produced sound from the safety pressure relief device must be evacuated immediately. Fire extinguishing with water is ineffective.

The above is about the safe storage and transportation regulations of isobutyl acrylate, I hope it can be helpful to you. In actual operation, we must strictly abide by relevant specifications to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
