Propylene glycol is an organic compound (diol), usually slightly Sweet, odorless, colorless and transparent oily liquid, hygroscopic and easily mixed with water, acetone, and chloroform. Propylene glycol has a wide range of applications. Due to the characteristics of propylene glycol, attention must be paid to operation and storage to reduce accidents.

The following suppliers of propylene glycol will help you understand the operation, storage and transportation of propylene glycol and Release emergency response.

Operation precautions:

Closed operation, fully ventilated. Operators must undergo special training and strictly abide by operating procedures. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent vapors from leaking into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents and reducing agents. When transporting, load and unload gently to prevent damage to the packaging. Equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may be harmful residues.

Storage precautions:

Safe storage Conditions: Although this product will not spontaneously ignite, it is combustible. It will not deteriorate after long-term storage, but it will absorb moisture when opened. Storage and transportation containers should be made of galvanized iron drums, aluminum or stainless steel. Store and transport according to general regulations on low-toxic chemicals. Avoid contact with water and humid environment. Storage tanks must be kept clean, dry, and rust-free. It must be stored in a place with walls, good air circulation, and away from sunlight, open flames and other heat sources. It is recommended to use nitrogen sealing for large storage tanks (capacity 100m3 or more). Keep container tightly closed. Keep dry. Storage temperature: max. 40°C.

Transportation precautions:

Transportation precautions : Before transportation, check whether the packaging container is complete and sealed. During transportation, make sure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or be damaged. It is strictly prohibited to mix and transport with oxidants, reducing agents, food chemicals, etc. Transport vehicles and ships must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, otherwise no other items may be transported. When shipping, the assembly location should be away from bedrooms and kitchens, and isolated from the engine room, power supply, fire sources, etc. When transporting by road, follow the prescribed route.

Emergency response to leakage:

Emergency response: Quickly evacuate personnel in the leaked contaminated area to a safe area, isolate them, and strictly restrict access. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency responders wear self-contained positive pressure respirators and general work clothes. Cut off the source of the leak as much as possible. Prevent it from flowing into sewers, flood ditches and other restricted spaces.

Small leaks: absorb with sand, vermiculite or other inert materials. You can also rinse with large amounts of water, dilute the wash water and put it into the wastewater system.

Large leakage: build dikes or dig pits to contain the leakage. Use a pump to transfer it to a tanker or a special collector for recycling or transport to a waste treatment site for disposal.
