Epichlorohydrin is an organic compound with the chemical formula c3h5clo. It is a colorless liquid with an odor similar to chloroform. It is an important raw material and intermediate for organic synthesis. It can be used to produce epoxy resin and as diluent of epoxy resin. It is also used to manufacture glycerin, nitroglycerin explosives, glass fiber reinforced plastics, glyceryl methacrylate, chlorohydrin rubber, glycidyl derivatives, surfactants, electrical insulation products, etc. It is also a common raw material for manufacturing a variety of adhesives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, plasticizers and ion exchange resins. As well as solvents for adhesives, coatings, paints, Rubbers, resins, cellulose esters and cellulose ethers. It is toxic, belonging to medium toxicity. Animal experiments have proved that it has potential carcinogenic effect. Long term exposure should be avoided.
Leakage emergency treatment
Evacuate the personnel from the leakage contaminated area to the safe area, prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering the contaminated area, and cut off the fire source. Emergency treatment personnel shall wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Do not directly contact the leakage, and stop the leakage without ensuring safety. Spray mist reduces evaporation. Mix and absorb with sand or other non combustible adsorbents, and then collect and transport them to the waste treatment site. If there is a large amount of leakage, it shall be collected by the dike, and then discarded after collection, transfer, recycling or harmless treatment.
Protective measures
Respiratory system protection: wear a mask respirator when the concentration in the air exceeds the standard. In case of emergency rescue or evacuation, it is recommended to wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Eye protection: wear chemical safety glasses. Protective clothing: wear tight sleeved work clothes and long rubber shoes. Hand protection: wear chemical resistant gloves. Others: shower and change clothes after work. Keep good hygiene habits. Prevent skin and mucous membrane damage.
