What are the precautions for the storage and transportation of tetrahydrofuran

In the storage and transportation of chemicals, tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an important organic solvent, and its characteristics determine the strict requirements for storage and transportation conditions.

Storage precautions
Temperature and humidity control
THF should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment, and the recommended storage temperature is 20-25℃. Too high or too low temperature may have an adverse effect on its chemical properties. In addition, the relative humidity should be kept below 50% to avoid hydrolysis caused by moisture, which will affect the product quality. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd. strictly controls the drying of THF during the production process and provides customers with professional storage environment recommendations to ensure its long-term stability.
Light and anti-oxidation measures
THF should be avoided from long-term exposure to light, as it may cause unnecessary chemical reactions, thereby affecting the quality of the product. During storage, THF is prone to form peroxides, which poses a potential risk of explosion. Therefore, inhibitors (such as BHT) are usually added to the product to prevent oxidation reactions. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd.'s THF products undergo strict anti-oxidation treatment to ensure safety and stability during storage.
Fire and explosion prevention measures
Due to the flammable and explosive properties of THF, open flames must be strictly prohibited in the storage area, and necessary fire-fighting facilities and equipment should be equipped. Storage containers must be well sealed to prevent volatilization and leakage. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd.'s storage containers meet national safety standards and are equipped with explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities to ensure the safety of the storage environment.
Classification storage and regular inspection
THF should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, acids and alkalis to avoid dangers caused by chemical reactions. During storage, it is important to regularly check the status of THF to ensure that its quality is not affected. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd. recommends that customers develop a complete storage management system, regularly check and record the status of THF, and promptly detect and handle any abnormalities.

Transportation precautions
Choose the appropriate transportation method
THF can be transported in liquid, gas and solid form. When transporting liquids, special vehicles such as explosion-proof tank trucks are required to ensure the safety of the transportation process. In gas transportation, effective anti-static measures should be taken to prevent static electricity from causing fire or explosion. When transporting in solid form, special attention should be paid to moisture prevention to prevent THF from losing its chemical activity due to moisture. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd. provides a variety of transportation options based on customer needs and actual conditions, and tailors the most suitable transportation plan for customers.
Ensure the packaging is intact
THF packaging containers must comply with relevant national standards to ensure good sealing performance to prevent volatilization and leakage. During transportation, they must be handled with care to avoid severe vibration and impact. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd.'s THF products are all professionally packaged to ensure safety and stability during transportation.
Equipped with emergency treatment equipment
During transportation, THF may have risks such as leakage, so corresponding emergency treatment equipment and containment materials should be equipped. Zhejiang Amerisource New Material Co., Ltd. provides customers with detailed emergency treatment guidelines and necessary emergency treatment equipment to ensure rapid response and effective control of the situation in an emergency.
