Read： 421 Time：14months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

In the field of chemical production raw materials, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a common organic glass material, with excellent transparency, weather resistance, processability and other advantages, so it is widely used in various fields. However, due to its special chemical properties, PMMA needs to comply with certain safety regulations during storage and transportation to ensure its stability and safety. This article will detail the safety storage and transportation specifications of PMMA.

1. the properties and hazards of PMMA

PMMA is a colorless and transparent organic glass with high hardness and toughness, but also has certain flammability and toxicity. In the presence of high temperature, open flame or oxidant, PMMA is easy to burn and release toxic gases. In addition, PMMA powder or fragments into the human body will also cause health hazards. Therefore, when storing and transporting PMMA, special attention should be paid to its safety and stability.

2. PMMA storage specification

1. Storage environment: PMMA should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated indoor environment, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature.

2. Storage container: A container with good sealing and corrosion resistance should be selected for storage to avoid the quality change of PMMA in contact with air or other substances.

3. Storage identification: A clear identification shall be affixed to the storage container, including the name of the substance, hazardous properties, storage precautions and other information.

4. Safety management: A sound safety management system should be established, and the storage environment should be regularly inspected to ensure storage safety.

3. PMMA transport specifications

1. Packaging requirements: PMMA in the transport process should be used in a strong, sealed packaging to avoid damage or leakage during transport.

2. Transportation vehicles: Professional vehicles with corresponding qualifications and transportation capabilities should be selected for transportation to ensure stability and safety during transportation.

3. Transportation route: A reasonable transportation route should be selected to avoid transportation in bad weather or bad road conditions.

4. Transport identification: clear identification shall be affixed to the transport vehicle, including the name of the substance, the nature of the hazard, transport precautions and other information.

5. Safety management: A sound safety management system should be established to comprehensively monitor the transportation process to ensure transportation safety.

4. emergency measures

During the storage and transportation of PMMA, in case of any accident, the following emergency measures should be taken:

1. Fire: In case of fire, the fire source should be cut off immediately, and dry powder, foam and other fire extinguishers should be used to extinguish the fire. At the same time should be timely alarm and start the emergency plan.

2. Leakage: In case of leakage, measures should be taken immediately to prevent the leakage from spreading, and the leakage should be cleaned and treated. At the same time, personal protective measures should be taken to avoid direct contact with the leakage.

5. summary

PMMA as a common organic glass material, has a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials. However, due to its special chemical properties, certain safety regulations need to be observed during storage and transportation to ensure its stability and safety. Therefore, relevant enterprises and personnel should strengthen their understanding of the nature of PMMA and establish a sound safety management system to ensure safety during storage and transportation.
