Storage Conditions:

1. Container selection: Use a container with good sealing to prevent PPG leakage or evaporation. Choose container materials resistant to chemical corrosion, such as stainless steel, HDPE (high-density polyethylene), or specially designed plastic containers. Avoid using glass or fragile containers, as PPG may have a corrosive effect on certain container materials.

2. Storage environment: The environment for storing PPG should be kept away from fire and heat sources to prevent fires or explosions. Keep the storage area dry and well-ventilated, avoiding moisture and water accumulation to prevent PPG from absorbing or hydrolyzing. Avoid direct sunlight and reduce temperature fluctuations to prevent physical changes in PPG.

3. Isolation measures: Store PPG separately from other chemicals, especially from highly corrosive substances such as acids and bases. Set up clear safety signs in the storage area to remind personnel to pay attention to safety.

4. Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the storage containers are intact and whether there are any leaks, damages, or corrosion phenomena. Check if the storage environment meets the requirements, such as temperature, humidity, etc.

5. Handling and disposal: If PPG leaks or containers are damaged, emergency measures should be taken immediately, such as wearing protective equipment, ventilation, and collecting leaked liquids. Abandoned PPG should be disposed of per local regulations and not be dumped or discharged arbitrarily.

6. Compliance with regulations: Local safety production and environmental protection regulations should be followed when storing PPG. Ensure personnel storing and using PPG have appropriate safety knowledge and operational skills.

FAQ

Q1

What is the uniqueness of PPG compared to other types of ethylene glycol?

Re:Compared with other types of ethylene glycol, PPG is unique in its molecular structure. The carbon-carbon bonds in PPG molecules are more stable than ethylene glycol, which endows PPG with higher thermal and chemical stability. In addition, PPG has a low viscosity and good fluidity, making it perform better in applications such as lubricants and cooling systems.

Q2

How cost-effective is PPG? Can production costs be reduced in large-scale applications?

Re:The cost-effectiveness of PPG is relatively high. Its production cost is relatively low, mainly due to its abundant raw material source, propylene, and relatively low manufacturing cost. In large-scale applications, batch procurement and production of PPG can reduce unit costs and improve cost-effectiveness. Therefore, the use of PPG can reduce production costs for industries that require a large amount of ethylene glycols, such as coatings, paints, and textile production.

Q3

How do PPG's physical and chemical properties make it an effective raw material or additive?

Re:PPG's physical and chemical properties make it an effective raw material or additive. It has low viscosity and good fluidity, which makes it easy to mix and disperse in applications such as coatings, paints, and adhesives. In addition, the high chemical stability of PPG enables it to remain stable in various chemical environments and is less prone to decomposition or deterioration. These characteristics make PPG an efficient and reliable raw material or additive in various industrial applications.

Q4

What are the advantages of PPG in improving product performance or extending product lifespan?

Re:PPG has significant advantages in improving product performance or extending product lifespan. Its high chemical and thermal stability enables products using PPG to resist high temperatures and chemical corrosion, improving product durability and service life. In addition, the good lubricity and low viscosity characteristics of PPG can improve the flowability of products and enhance their processing performance and usability. These advantages give PPG broad application prospects in coatings, lubricants, and personal care products.

Q5

What is the stability and compatibility of PPG?

Re:PPG has excellent stability and compatibility. The carbon-carbon bonds in its molecular structure have high stability, allowing PPG to maintain chemical stability in various environments.
