Protective Measures of Isobutyl Acetate

Isobutyl acetate is acetic acid and isobutanol esterification products, mainly used for nitrocellulose and paint solvents, as well as chemical reagents, modulation spices.

At the same time it also has a certain dangerous characteristics: it is flammable, its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture. Encountered fire, high heat can cause combustion explosion. It can react strongly with the oxidant, its vapor is heavier than air, can spread in a relatively low place to a considerable distance, encountered fire will lead to reburning.

So the operator worked at isobutyl acetate production plant needs some protective measures. Respiratory protection: may be exposed to its vapor, you should wear self-absorption filter respirators. Emergency rescue or evacuation, it is recommended to wear air breathing apparatus. Eye protection: wear chemical safety glasses. Physical protection: Wear anti-static work clothes. Hand protection: wear anti-benzene oil resistant gloves. In addition, smoking is prohibited at the job site. When work is finished, shower and change dressing. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
