[Fire warning] Safe handling of alcohol for disinfection (ethanol, etc.)

New coronavirus infection Along with the outbreak of the disease, there are more opportunities to use rubbing alcohol for disinfection of fingers, etc. Generally, rubbing alcohol has the following characteristics as physical properties.

○It is easy to ignite when brought close to fire ○Combustible vapor generated from alcohol is heavier than air and tends to accumulate in low places.

 For this reason, when using rubbing alcohol in your home or office, please pay close attention to the general precautions for fire prevention shown on the link and handle it safely.

Updated: December 6, 2021

[Fire Warning] Please be careful when handling disinfectant alcohol in your car

The combustible vapor generated from the air is heavier than air and tends to accumulate in low places. Therefore, if alcohol for disinfection is left inside a car in the summer when the temperature rises, the temperature rises in a closed space, and the alcohol generates flammable vapor, which tends to accumulate. . If you get in the car and light the lighter, the vaporized alcohol may ignite and cause a fire. When carrying around alcohol for disinfection, pay attention to these characteristics and be careful not to use or store it in hot places or near fire.

Disinfection "ethanol" and toxic "methanol" Please note the difference!

Regarding alcohol, which is said to be effective in disinfecting the new coronavirus, there are cases where people make their own disinfectant solutions due to the lack of products such as disinfectant sprays and gels. At that time, never use ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and methanol (methyl alcohol), which has a similar name. Inhalation or accidental ingestion of methanol (methyl alcohol) may result in poisoning such as death, blindness, and renal failure. Also, it is a flammable liquid, so there is a risk of fire.
