@OC_Scanner At 90°F and climbing, they’re closer to critical thresholds than people realize.
MMA boils at 214°F and flashes at 50°F. I think the bulldozers and containment containers aren’t precautionary.
I bet they’re preparing for a controlled release - this is the best outcome.
@bouseaz@OC_Scanner Exactly^
I’m a little rusty on my compliance rules, but I’m pretty sure 113F is the “total evacuation” threshold - I could be wrong though
@mzkarmaD@OC_Scanner This is an exothermic reaction, so there’s no way to stop it, only slow it.
This only ends two ways, a leak or explosion. Ideally a controlled leak.
@G_PaGametight@OC_Scanner MMA has a flash point of 50F, and boils at 214F.
Pretty sure earlier reports suggested the temperatures were 90F and increasing
Full evacuation would be around 113F
So since it’s past the flash point, if relief valves fail whatever vents will be flammable and toxic.
@rick_kerner@FoxNews I work for a major adhesive manufacturer, and unfortunately MMA doesn’t just “harden”, it polymerizes exothermically, which accelerates the reaction further. It’s basically a runaway scenario.
@AzPetrich I’m an atheist and have no problem with the pope or what he stands for. You do you, be happy.
What I do have a problem with, is the fake piety preached by all the christians who couldn’t tell the bible from a self help book they’ve also never read.
