ABSTRACT

The production of artificial marble requires a large amount of flammable materials, which increases the risk of fire. This study analyzed the range of damages caused by explosion pressure and radiant heat when fire in artificial marble manufacturing process. It is found that, when the worst-case scenario was applied, the damage distance due to VCE was expected to be the largest. MMA was estimated to be 251m, UPE resin was estimated to be 129m, and NG was estimated to be 41m. When a chemical accident occurs due to materials such as MMA, UPE resin, NG, a prompt evacuation out of the damage area would be critical. This finding suggests that safety management such as safety check, budget input and equipment maintenance should prioritize and manage these materials in the order of MMA, UPE and NG.
