What should we pay attention to when using isobutane?

For the compatriots who often come into contact with isobutane, this standard knowledge about the safety of the use and storage and transportation of isobutane is worth learning.

The first is isobutane marking, packaging, transportation and storage

1.The isobutane packaging containers for industrial use shall be marked firmly and clearly, including product name, trademark, product model, factory name, factory address, net content, batch number, this standard number and the "flammable liquid" mark specified in GB 190.

2. industrial isobutane application of special isobutane packaging cylinder packaging, reuse of the cylinder coated with brown paint, the font is white, marked with steel mark number, cylinder tare weight; Non-reusable cylinders are painted with orange paint.

3.Cylinders should be filled in accordance with the provisions of GB 14193, isoalkane loading coefficient is not more than 049 kg/L

4.Cylinders must be dry and clean for first use: for reused cylinders, positive pressure should be maintained after the product is used.

5. Cylinders with isobutane for industrial use are pressurized containers. During loading, unloading and transportation, ventilation should be maintained. Safety helmets must be fasteners. Cylinder transportation shall comply with the relevant regulations of the People's Republic of China on the transportation of dangerous goods by railway and road.

6. Industrial isobutane should be stored in a ventilated, cool, dry place, storage temperature should not exceed 30C; Should be stored separately from oxygen, compressed air, oxidants, etc.; Do not go near the heat source, the sun and rain are strictly prohibited.

The lighting, ventilation and other facilities in the storage room shall be explosion-proof, and the switch shall be located outside the warehouse; There must be no smoke, fire warning signs in the storage room; Fire and explosion prevention technical measures, the use of spark prone mechanical equipment and tools is prohibited, equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire equipment.

What are the precautions for the safe use of isobutane?

1.Isobutane for industrial use is flammable gas. Mixed with air can form explosive mixture, open fire, high heat energy cause combustion and explosion.

2.Isobutane for industrial use is a low toxicity chemical. The health effects on human beings are mainly reflected in its anesthetic and weak stimulation characteristics. When isobutane acute poisoning will have the following symptoms: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and similar drunken state, more serious can also appear coma; Chronic poisoning can cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, poor sleep and fatigue: when these symptoms occur, evacuate from the scene quickly.
