Read： 772 Time：12months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

In the field of chemical production raw materials, ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common thermoplastic, widely used in home appliances, automobiles, construction and other fields. Due to its special chemical and physical properties, ABS needs to comply with certain safety regulations during storage and transportation to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. This article will detail ABS safety storage and transportation specifications.

1. the chemical and physical properties of ABS

ABS is composed of acrylonitrile (Acrylonitrile), butadiene (Butadiene) and styrene (Styrene) three monomers copolymerized. Among them, acrylonitrile gives ABS good chemical resistance and hardness, butadiene improves its impact resistance, and styrene makes it have good processing properties.

ABS has good mechanical properties, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, electrical insulation and processing performance. However, ABS also has certain toxicity, mainly because the acrylonitrile and styrene monomers contained in it are harmful to human body.

2. ABS safety storage specification

1. The storage place should choose a dry, ventilated and cool place to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment.
2. ABS should be stored in a sealed container to avoid contact with air to prevent oxidation and aging.
3. Keep away from fire and heat sources during storage, and avoid contact with oxidants, acids and other substances.
4. The warehouse where ABS is stored should be equipped with fire fighting facilities, such as fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, etc., and ensure that the staff are familiar with the use method.
5. Check the stored ABS regularly to ensure that the quality is in good condition. If there is any abnormality, it should be handled in time.

3. ABS safety transportation specifications

1. During transportation, ensure that the ABS packaging is intact to prevent damage and leakage.
2. The transport vehicle shall have the functions of sun protection and rain protection, and shall be well ventilated to avoid ABS being heated or damp during transportation.
3. During transportation, it should be away from fire and heat sources, and avoid mixing with oxidants, acids and other substances.
4. During transportation, traffic rules should be observed to ensure driving safety and prevent ABS leakage or combustion due to traffic accidents.
5. During transportation, professional training should be provided to transportation personnel to ensure that they understand the nature of ABS and safe operation procedures.

4. emergency treatment measures

1. In case of ABS leakage accident, the leakage source should be cut off immediately, mixed with sand, dry lime or soda ash and recycled to the special waste treatment site.
2. In the event of a fire accident, fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and other equipment should be used immediately to extinguish the fire, and alarm and evacuate nearby personnel.
3. If any person has symptoms of poisoning after contact with ABS, the poisoned person should be moved to a ventilated place immediately to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed and send him to a doctor for treatment in time.

In short, in the field of chemical production raw materials, the safe storage and transportation of ABS is essential to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. By strictly complying with storage and transportation specifications, the risk of accidents can be effectively reduced and the safety of ABS during production, transportation and use can be ensured. At the same time, regular safety inspections and training to improve the safety awareness and operation skills of staff are also important measures to ensure the safe storage and transportation of ABS.
