      If the multifunctional deliming agents volatile or produces harmful gases, appropriate respiratory protective equipment must be worn. Common respiratory protective equipment includes dust masks, gas masks, etc. For ash removal agents containing toxic and harmful gases, a gas mask that can filter the corresponding harmful gases should be selected, and the mask should be tightly attached to the face to prevent harmful gases from leaking into the respiratory tract.

      2. Eye protection

      The eyes are a very fragile part of the human body, and once multifunctional deliming agent splashes into the eyes, it may cause serious eye damage and even blindness. Therefore, it is necessary to wear chemical safety goggles or goggles. Protective goggles should have the function of preventing chemical splashes, with clear and scratch free lenses to ensure good visibility and reliable protection during use.

      3. Physical protection

      Wearing appropriate protective clothing can effectively prevent multi-functional dust remover from coming into contact with the skin. Protective clothing should be made of materials that are resistant to chemical corrosion, such as rubber, polyethylene, etc. At the same time, protective clothing should cover the entire body, including cuffs, collar, and pant legs, to prevent the penetration of dust remover. In addition, chemical resistant gloves should be worn, and gloves made of corresponding materials such as rubber gloves, nitrile gloves, etc. should be selected according to the properties of the ash remover.

      4. Foot protection

      At the operation site, there may be a leakage of ash remover, so it is necessary to wear chemically resistant boots. Boots should have anti slip function to prevent slipping and falling on slippery ground.

3. Safety requirements for operating environment

1. Good ventilation

Multi functional ash removers may release harmful gases or vapors during use. If the operating environment is poorly ventilated, these harmful substances can accumulate in the air and pose a risk to human health when they reach a certain concentration. Therefore, it is recommended to use ash removal agents in well ventilated areas, such as outdoor open spaces or indoor spaces equipped with good ventilation systems. If operating indoors, doors and windows should be opened to ensure air circulation. If necessary, ventilation equipment such as exhaust fans can be used to enhance the ventilation effect.

      2. Keep away from sources of fire and heat

      Some multifunctional deliming agents are flammable, and their vapors may form explosive mixtures when mixed with air. Therefore, during use, it is necessary to stay away from sources of fire and heat, such as open flames, electric sparks, high-temperature equipment, etc. Smoking and the use of open flames should be prohibited at the operation site. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that electrical equipment meets explosion-proof requirements to avoid fire or explosion accidents caused by electrical faults that generate electrical sparks.

      3. Avoid contact with prohibited substances

      Multi functional ash removal agents may undergo chemical reactions with certain substances, posing a danger. For example, acidic ash removers cannot be mixed with alkaline substances, otherwise neutralization reactions may occur, which may generate heat, gas, and even cause explosions. Before use, it should be noted which substances the ash remover should not come into contact with, and strict precautions should be taken to avoid mixing these substances together during operation. At the same time, the ash remover should be stored away from prohibited substances to prevent accidental mixing due to leakage or other reasons.

4. Correct usage method

      1. Operate according to the instructions

      Strictly following the instructions for using the multifunctional deliming agents the key to ensuring safety. The manual will provide detailed instructions on the concentration, temperature, and duration of the ash removal agent, as well as specific operating procedures and precautions. Different devices and dirt may require different usage methods and processing times, so usage parameters cannot be changed arbitrarily. For example, if the concentration is too high, it may cause corrosion to the equipment; Using it for too long not only increases costs, but may also have adverse effects on the surface of the equipment.

     2. Apply or spray evenly

      When using a multifunctional deliming agent, ensure that it is evenly applied or sprayed on the surface that needs to be cleaned. Tools such as brushes and spray guns can be used for operation. Uniform application or spraying can ensure full contact between the dust remover and dirt, improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding the local accumulation of ash removal agents to prevent excessive corrosion.

      3. Control reaction time

      According to the instructions of the ash remover, strictly control its reaction time with dirt. The reaction time is too short, and it may not be possible to completely remove dirt; If the reaction time is too long, it may cause damage to the equipment substrate. During the reaction process, it is necessary to closely observe the changes on the surface of the equipment, such as the appearance of bubbles, discoloration, etc., and promptly determine whether the reaction is complete.

5. Waste disposal and storage

      1. Waste disposal

      The waste of multifunctional deliming agentafter use belongs to hazardous waste and cannot be discharged or discarded at will. Waste should be collected in specialized containers and labeled in accordance with relevant environmental regulations and requirements. Then, contact qualified hazardous waste disposal units for proper disposal to prevent environmental pollution.

      2. Storage requirements

      Unused multifunctional deliming agents should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and cool dedicated warehouse. The warehouse should be kept away from prohibited substances such as fire sources, heat sources, and oxidants, and should also avoid direct sunlight. The storage container should be well sealed to prevent the volatilization or leakage of the ash remover. In addition, it is necessary to regularly inspect the stored ash remover to ensure that its packaging is intact and there are no leaks.

      Multi functional ash removers play an important role in the field of cleaning, but safety issues during use cannot be ignored. By understanding its characteristics, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, ensuring safe operating environments, mastering correct usage methods, and doing a good job in waste disposal and storage, the safety risks of using multifunctional deliming agents can be effectively reduced, ensuring personal safety and environmental protection.
