Ethylbenzene should be packaged in accordance with international and local regulations. It is generally recommended to use high-strength steel containers to ensure that they will not leak or be damaged during transportation and storage. The package should be firmly sealed and have labels and warning signs that can identify the product, hazard level, batch number and other necessary information.
Storage and transportation:
When storing Ethylbenzene, the following recommendations should be followed:
①Store in the warehouse specially used for storing chemicals, and keep away from open fire and heat source.
②Avoid direct sunlight and store in a well-ventilated place.
③The storage temperature should be lower than 30 ° C and the storage environment should be kept dry, clean and tidy.
④Keep away from food, drink and feed.
⑤The storage period shall not exceed the period specified in the product specification.
Special attention shall be paid to the following items during storage and transportation:
①During transportation, products must be prevented from collision or friction, and packaging containers must be prevented from cracking or leaking.
②Products should be transported by special transportation equipment, such as chemical tanker or tanker.
③Contaminated packaging containers shall not be reused and must be disposed according to local regulations.
In short, we must be very careful about the packaging, storage and transportation of Ethylbenzene, a dangerous chemical. Proper packaging, storage and transportation can ensure the quality and safety of products, and will not cause any harm to people and the environment.
Ethylbenzene is used as raw material for the production of styrene, p-nitroacetophenone and methyl benzophenone. In medicine, it is used as an intermediate of synmycin and chloramphenicol. In addition, it can also be used as solvent.
