Entering the dry winter, we often have static electricity "haunted" troubles, boiling faucets, pulling doorknobs, will feel pinprick pain, undressing at night is even more "popping", trembling to experience a "fireworks show" Although the energy of static electricity is not large, but in fact, there are huge safety hazards, after the charge in the stationary state accumulates to a high potential, it will produce discharge sparks, which is very easy to ignite the surrounding flammable and explosive materials, causing fire, ⚡ explosion and other accidents!
Accident caseOn May 21, 2023, a deflagration accident occurred in Anhui Jinghua New Materials Co., Ltd., New Material Optoelectronic Industrial Park, Economic Development Zone, Dingyuan County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, resulting in one death and a direct economic loss of more than 357.4 million yuan.
The direct cause of the accident was the deflagration of the static electricity generated when ethyl acetate flowed at high speed during the operation of the operator's preparation of glue.
Don't think it's just a case of similar accidents
In dry weather, in production and life, especially in flammable and explosive environments, we must pay attention to anti-static
Warm reminder: pay attention to "discharge" in production and life to prevent electrostatic fire accidents
