When using and storing dimethylacetamide, the following safety precautions should be noted:
1. When using
Protective measures
Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as chemical protective gloves, goggles, protective masks and protective clothing, to prevent skin contact and inhalation of vapors.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Ventilation equipment, such as exhaust fans or fume hoods, can be installed to reduce the concentration of dimethylacetamide in the air.
Operation specifications
Avoid contact with fire sources, high-temperature surfaces and oxidants to prevent fire or explosion.
During use, operations should be strictly followed in accordance with the operating procedures to avoid spills. If spills occur, measures should be taken immediately to clean up and prevent them from spreading.
Open flame operations such as welding and cutting are prohibited near dimethylacetamide.
First aid measures
If dimethylacetamide is accidentally exposed, the contaminated area should be immediately rinsed with plenty of clean water and medical treatment should be sought in time.
If dimethylacetamide vapor is accidentally inhaled, the site should be quickly moved to a fresh air location to keep the respiratory tract open. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be given immediately and medical treatment should be sought.
If you accidentally ingest dimethylacetamide, do not induce vomiting. See a doctor immediately and bring the container or label of dimethylacetamide so that the doctor can accurately diagnose and treat you.
2. Storage
Storage environment
Dimethylacetamide should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from fire, heat sources and oxidants.
The storage temperature should not be too high and should generally be controlled below 30°C. Avoid direct sunlight and take light-proof measures.
Packaging requirements
Dimethylacetamide should be stored in sealed containers to prevent volatilization and leakage. The container material should be corrosion-resistant and not chemically react with dimethylacetamide.
During storage, ensure that the container is well sealed to prevent air from entering and causing oxidation or deterioration of dimethylacetamide.
Label management
The container storing dimethylacetamide should be marked with information such as the name of the chemical, hazardous properties, safety precautions and emergency contact information so that correct response measures can be taken in time in the event of an accident.
Regular inspection
Regularly check the stored dimethylacetamide to see if the container is leaking or damaged. If there is any problem, the container should be handled or replaced in time.
Check the storage environment to ensure good ventilation and appropriate temperature to avoid safety accidents.
