Stearic Acid Risk Assessment
Stearic acid threat and risk assessment
1. Properties of stearic acid
Stearic acid is often in the world in solid form, white and shiny, and waxy in shape. Its properties are mild and stable at room temperature. Insoluble in water, it can be soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers, so its physical properties are also.
Second, it is widely used
The use of stearic acid can be said to be wide. In the field of chemical industry, it is an essential material for making soap. Soap, a daily cleaning product, stearic acid and alkali phase, form the base of soap, and have good decontamination power. It is also a frequent customer in the cosmetics list. Moisturizing cream, hand cream, etc., all rely on stearic acid to adjust the texture, make the paste smooth, and have the ability to moisturize, and care for the skin. In the plastics industry, it is the choice of plasticizer, which can soften plastics, increase their toughness, and make plastic products durable and easy to make.
3. Potential risks
Although stearic acid is widely used, the potential risks cannot be ignored. First, if it touches the skin accidentally, some sensitive people may feel uncomfortable, and erythema and itching may appear. Although the cover is mild in nature, individual differences exist, and people with sensitive skin are prone to reactions. Second, if it enters the eyes, it can cause tingling, redness and swelling of the eyes, and damage the health of the eyes. Third, during the production and preparation process, stearic acid powder flies. If inhaled into the lungs, it will accumulate for a long time, or damage the respiratory system, causing cough, asthma and other diseases.
IV. Prevention strategies
In order to avoid the potential risks of stearic acid, comprehensive protection measures must be taken. In the place of production, ventilation facilities are complete to minimize the concentration of stearic acid powder in the air. Workers should wear masks to prevent the powder from entering the lungs. If it touches the skin, rinse with water quickly to remove stearic acid. If it enters the eyes, rinse with plenty of water urgently and seek medical attention immediately. When storing, it should be placed in a cool and dry place to avoid heat and moisture to prevent its properties from changing and increasing the risk.
Fifth, Conclusion
The use of stearic acid in industry and life is indispensable. However, its latent risk must also be paid attention to, and proper protection measures can be taken to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, so that stearic acid can be used in people's life and production, so as to make the best use of it to avoid its harm, ensure people's well-being, and promote industrial development.
