Read： 410 Time：14months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an important chemical raw material, widely used in polymers, coatings, adhesives and other fields. However, due to its special chemical properties, MMA has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure safety, strict compliance with relevant storage and transportation regulations is required.

1. the safety properties of MMA

MMA is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor. It is flammable, explosive, and toxic to humans. MMA vapor mixed with air, may form an explosive mixture, fire, high heat and other conditions may cause combustion explosion. In addition, MMA has a strong stimulating effect on the eyes, skin and respiratory tract, and prolonged exposure may cause symptoms of poisoning.

2. MMA storage specification

1. The storage place should choose a cool, ventilated and dry place, away from fire and heat sources.
2. The storage container should be made of stainless steel or glass fiber reinforced plastic, and avoid the use of iron containers to prevent chemical reactions.
3. Keep the container tightly closed during storage to prevent MMA from volatilization and leakage.
4. The storage site shall be provided with fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment to deal with emergencies.

3. MMA transportation specifications

1. Special tankers or tankers should be used during transportation to ensure that the container is closed and prevent leakage.
2. Transport vehicles shall be equipped with safety facilities such as fire prevention, explosion-proof and anti-static, and shall be inspected and maintained regularly.
3. Avoid high temperature, open fire, static electricity and other dangerous factors during transportation, keep the vehicle running smoothly, and avoid severe vibration.
4. Transport personnel should be professionally trained and familiar with the nature of MMA and safe operating procedures.

4. MMA leakage emergency treatment

1. In case of MMA leakage, immediately cut off the leakage source and use special equipment to recover the leakage.
2. If the leakage into the eyes or skin, should immediately use plenty of water rinse, and as soon as possible to seek medical attention.
3. In case of fire, use dry powder, foam and other fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire, and call the police for help as soon as possible.

In short, in order to ensure the safety of MMA during storage and transportation, it is necessary to strictly abide by relevant specifications and operating procedures, strengthen safety management and education and training, and improve the safety awareness and operational skills of staff. At the same time, safety inspection and hidden danger investigation should be carried out regularly to find and solve potential safety risks in time to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.
