Storage and transportation
Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from kindling and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. Keep container sealed. It shall be stored separately from oxidant and shall not be mixed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities shall be adopted. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate storage materials.
During transportation, it shall be protected from sunshine, rain and high temperature. Stay away from kindling, heat source and high temperature area during stopover. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying this article must be equipped with a fire arresting device. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to generate sparks for loading and unloading.
Uses
Ethylbenzene is used as the 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.
