Dioxolane plant plays an important role on chemical industry. But it is
harmful itself. It is unavoidable to get hurt when doing chemical research, for
example, dioxolane technology. Do you know how to do when you touch
dioxolane?
Health Hazards of Dioxolane
Invasive routes: inhalation, ingestion, percutaneous absorption.
Health hazards: This product is narcotic. Its steam has a stimulating
effect.
Emergency handling method is blow:
Leakage Emergency Treatment
Move from the leakage population areas to a safe area and isolation. Cut off
the fire seat. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self positive
pressure respirator and wear protective clothing. As far as possible to cut off
the source of leakage, prevent it access to sewers, flood channel limited space.
Small amount of leakage: sand, dry lime or soda grey mixed. Also can rinse with
plenty of water, wash water diluted into the wastewater system. Large amount of
leakage, construct a barrierpit to contain; covered with foam, reduce disasters.
Steam explosion proof pump transferred to tankexclusive collector, recycling or
shipped to the waste disposal sites.
Protective Measures
Respiratory protection: wear a self - priming filter mask (half mask) when
you may touch the vapors.
Eye protection: wear chemical safety goggles.
Body protection: wear anti-static work clothes.
Hand protection: wear rubber gloves.
Other: no smoking at work site. After work, take a shower and change clothes.
Pay attention to personal hygiene.
First Aid Measures
Skin contact: remove contaminated clothing and rinse the skin thoroughly with
soap and water.

as far as possible. Cool down fire container, until the fire is put out.
Evacuate immediately once the containers in the fire scene have discoloration or
generate sound from the safety relief devices. Fire extinguishing agents should
be anti insoluble foam extinguisher, dry powder extinguisher, carbon dioxide
extinguisher or sand. It is invalid to put out the fire with water.
