Application:The explosive used in the manufacture of pentaerythritol tetranitrate, alkyd resin, also used as heat stabilizer, plasticizer, etc.Mass industrial production of alkyd resin used in coating, senior synthetic lubricants, plasticizer, surface active agent and the raw material of medicine, explosives.
Storage and transportation:
1. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse.Away from fire and heat source.Should be stored apart and oxidant, acid, mixed reservoir of avoid by all means.Equipped with corresponding varieties and number of fire equipment.Storage area should be equipped with the right material for leakage content.
2. Use pp woven bag coat or gunny bags, each bag is 25 kg.Pentaerythritol concentration of dust in the air for more than 30 g/m3, can form explosive mixtures with air and exploded when more than 400 ¡æ.So it should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place, moistureproof, fire prevention.As stipulated in the general chemical leakage.
