Chemical giant Dow confirms employees' infection with new crown virus, protection management is imminent!

On March 17th, Dow Chemical stated in a statement that from March 2nd to March 11th, after a contract worker at Specialty Welding Services (SWS) worked at the Dow plant in Plaquemine, COVID-19 was detected as a positive infection.

It is understood that SWS employees infected with the virus only work in one production unit in the plant's LHC unit, which poses a small risk to others outside the contractor team. Both Dow and SWS said that all workers in close contact with the worker had been tested for the virus. They will isolate themselves until all test results are available.

On March 17, Dow Chemical announced the company's response plan to the incident:

Dow said it would not “enclose” key personnel at its Placaming plant because it would negatively affect employees and their families.

The Dow Chemical principal said that Dow would not close the Placaming plant.

However, they will follow the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure employee safety.

In addition to personal hygiene, cleaning, disinfection, and social isolation, Dow will also implement the following measures:

● All people who can work from home work remotely
● The factory does not accept foreign visitors
● Intensify the temperature monitoring of employees entering the site
● On-site buffet restaurant only offers packed lunches

It is reported that Dow has the largest petrochemical plant in the state and has more than 6,000 contract employees. It generates more than $ 1 billion in revenue for the state each year and plays a vital role in the global economy.

The Dow Plaquemine plant is the first chemical plant in Louisiana to report an employee who is positive for coronavirus.

The magical effect of fumed silica in silicone rubber

The magical effect of fumed silica in silicone rubber Fumed silica is one of the most important high-tech ultra-fine inorganic new materials. Due to its small particle size, it has a large specific surface area, strong surface adsorption, large surface energy, high chemical purity, good dispersion performance, thermal resistance, It has specific properties in terms of electrical resistance, etc. Its superior stability, reinforcement, thickening and thixotropic properties are unique in many disciplines and fields and have an irreplaceable role. Today, Xiaobian will work with you to learn how to apply fumed silica in silicone rubber. Application of fumed silica in high temperature vulcanization (HTV) silicone rubber The use of fumed silica can be divided into silicone materials and other fields, in which the amount of silica in the silicone material is nearly 60%, and the silicone rubber is the most used material in the silicone material. It can be added in an amount of up to 50% ...

What is paper tube glue defoamer and how to use defoamer in the paper tube glue correctly?

What is paper tube glue defoamer and how to use defoamer in the paper tube glue correctly? The paper tuber adhesive i s commonly known as paper tube glue, paper tube glue, etc. It is a special adhesive for making various paper tubes, paper barrels, paper cans and related paper products. Paper, cloth, plastic film, metal foil and other thin soft materials, commonly used paper tube (paper tube) is wound into bundles to make a paper roll core-shaped finished product. These paper tubes are generally rolled and bonded by kraft paper or other raw paper, and the adhesive used is called paper tube glue. In the production of paper tube glue, PVA, vinyl acetate, polyacrylamide, ethylene glycol, etc. are added in the production. Most of these additives are surfactants, and foams are easily generated when mechanically stirred or subjected to shearing. The presence of foam can have a negative impact on the production process. If the foam is not properly controlled, it will seriously affect the o...

How to control foam and defoaming in the papermaking ?

Foam is always a thorny issue in the pulp&paper industry. Foaming reasons Once liquid which contain a surfactant or this kind of liquid having a large viscosity is agitated, a large amount of foam which is not easily disappeared is often produced. The reasons why these bubbles are more stable and not easy to disappear are as follows: n Film elasticity The ability of the liquid film to resist local thinning during the general thinning process is film elasticity. When the liquid film has a thin point, this point is a possible breakage. However, when this is further stretched, the surfactant molecules in this part will be more reduced, and the increase in surface tension will result in a force imbalance, and the surrounding surface will be moved toward a thin point to balance the surface. tension. The movement of the surface layer pulls the liquid of the lower layer together, thus preventing further thinning of the initial weakness and, in turn, foam ruptu...
