[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transportation of EPS

Read： 761 Time：12months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

EPS(Expandable Polystyrene, expandable polystyrene) is a common chemical raw material, widely used in construction, packaging, insulation and other fields. Due to its flammable and toxic properties, EPS needs to strictly comply with safety regulations during storage and transportation to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. This article will detail the safety storage and transportation specifications of EPS.

1. the dangerous characteristics of EPS

1. Flammability: EPS has a high ignition point, in case of open flame, high heat or oxidant contact, there is a danger of causing combustion.
2. Toxic: EPS will produce toxic gases when burning, such as benzene, toluene, etc., which are harmful to the human body.

2. EPS safety storage specification

1. storage place should choose dry, ventilated, cool place, away from fire, heat source and oxidant.
2. Storage shall be classified and partitioned, with clear identification to prevent misuse and mixing.
3. The storage stack should be stable and should not be too high to prevent collapse and slipping.
4. The storage site shall be equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.

3. EPS safety transportation specifications

1. Before transportation, check whether the packaging is intact to prevent leakage and damage.
2. Transportation regulations for flammable and toxic substances shall be followed, and transportation vehicles and personnel that meet the requirements shall be selected.
3. During transportation, keep away from fire source, heat source and oxidant, and avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment.
4. Goods shall be inspected regularly during transportation to ensure safe transportation.

4. EPS leakage emergency treatment

1. found EPS leakage, should immediately stop the operation, close the source of leakage.
2. Mix with sand, dry lime or soda ash and recycle to the waste treatment site for disposal.
3. In case of a large amount of leakage, embankments or pits shall be constructed and covered with foam to reduce steam disasters.
4. Conduct harmless treatment of the leakage to avoid environmental pollution.

5. safety protection measures

1. contact EPS personnel should wear protective gloves, goggles and other personal protective equipment, to avoid direct contact.
2. Safety warning signs shall be set up in storage and transportation places, and smoking and open fire shall be prohibited.
3. Conduct regular safety inspection and training to improve employees' safety awareness and operation skills.

In short, EPS is widely used in the field of chemical production raw materials, but its flammable, toxic and other characteristics put forward higher safety requirements for the storage and transportation process. Therefore, when storing and transporting EPS, safety regulations should be strictly observed to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. At the same time, strengthen the construction of safety protection measures and emergency response capabilities, improve the ability to respond to emergencies, and provide a guarantee for the stable development of chemical production raw materials.
