Sodium nitrite manufacturers remind you of the matters needing attention during storage and transportation of sodium nitrite

Sodium nitrite is widely used in various industries, especially in the concrete construction industry as antifreeze and rust inhibitors used in various regions and cities across the country. As an inorganic oxidant product, sodium nitrite, if it is not noticed during storage and transportation, there will be many problems and accidents, especially during long-distance transportation.

Sodium nitrite manufacturers remind you of the following points during storage and transportation of sodium nitrite:

1. Placed alone at room temperature, the mixture of sodium nitrite, organic matter and combustibles can burn and explode, and emit toxic and irritating nitrogen oxide gas. Mixture with ammonium salt, combustible powder or cyanide will explode. Heating or encountering acid can produce highly toxic nitrogen oxide gas.

2. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The storage temperature does not exceed 30 ° C and the relative humidity does not exceed 80%. The packaging needs to be sealed and not in contact with air. It should be stored separately from reducing agents, active metal powders, acids, and edible chemicals. Avoid mixed storage.

3. Shipped separately during transportation, and ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall or damage during transportation. Transport vehicles should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire fighting equipment during transportation. Mixed transportation with acids, flammable substances, organic substances, reducing agents, spontaneously combustible items, flammable items when wet, etc. is strictly prohibited.

4. The speed of the vehicle should not be too fast during transportation, and no overtaking is allowed. Transport vehicles should be thoroughly cleaned and washed before and after loading and unloading, to keep the cabin clean and tidy, and to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the carriage are within the standard requirements for packaging and storage of sodium nitrite products. It is strictly prohibited to mix impurities such as organic substances and flammable substances.
