How to prevent the occurrence of paint accidents

Everyday browsing the related websites of the paint industry, you will find news of this kind every three days and two days: the paint on the truck exploded, the paint van suddenly caught fire, the paint workshop caught fire, and the paint factory caught fire. The truck is out of control and the paint is leaking. At this time, I believe that you will also be able to equate the two concepts of "paint" and "danger", or at least an equal sign.

Paint can be divided into oily and water-based, oily paint is what we usually say, visible paint is only a branch of the paint. Paints are divided into solvent-based and non-solvent types, since almost all paints are products of petroleum, natural resins and synthetic resins, and contain petrochemicals such as benzene organics (benzene, toluene, xylene, phenol) or turpentine. As a solvent, it is extremely flammable. To be precise, oily coatings are flammable, or solvents in oily coatings are flammable. In contrast, waterborne coatings such as latex paints, waterborne wood lacquers, and polyethylene expanded fire lacquers are non-flammable or flame retardant coatings.

Since the paint is a flammable and explosive chemical, it is generally not allowed to carry it while traveling by car or train. The delivery of paint is usually carried out by a specific qualified transportation company and requires a dangerous goods transport permit. But even with such strict control, the paint transport vehicles on the roads are still frequent and thrilling. In addition, even in the case of non-combustible water-based paints, there is an accident in which the side is overturned on the transportation road. In addition, some accidents were caused by a sudden puncture of the truck. Therefore, the author believes that it is necessary for the driver to carry out regular inspections of the paint loaded on the vehicle and the transport vehicle itself. Do not just care for the road ahead. Otherwise, the accident will result in economic loss and serious harm to personal safety. The driver himself must be awake for 12 points on the road and cannot drive fatigue.

In addition, the flammability of the paint is also manifested in the construction of a large amount of flammable gas volatilized into the air, very prone to burning or explosion accidents. Therefore, in the construction of paint, we must pay attention to the following problems: 1. Ensure air circulation and prevent the accumulation of solvent vapor; 2. Prohibit any open flame, prohibit the use of open flame to bake or heat the paint; 3. It is forbidden to wear chemical fiber clothing to enter the construction site to prevent Static sparks; 4. It is forbidden to carry out other operations at the paint construction site, especially the iron impact and the friction of the articles.

In addition, the paint must also be done according to strict requirements when storing, such as light and easy to remove, keep the package sealed intact, to relieve the crisis of paint volatilization. Therefore, regular inspection is also necessary. It is necessary to keep in mind the flammable characteristics of the paint. It is like hanging a sword on the head, and does not dare to relax. I believe that it is possible to prevent accidents before they happen.

Another branch of the coating, water-based paint, is believed to be the most popular industry in addition to its environmentally friendly properties due to its non-combustible safety performance. Over time, with the maturity of waterborne coating technology, waterborne coatings are widely used in people's livelihood and industrial fields, and can also greatly reduce the occurrence of paint accidents.

All in all, the containment of paint safety incidents depends not only on the care of the relevant operators, but also on the operation of the various safety measures. It also depends on the maturity of the alternatives and can be truly replaced.
