|
• Coatings (alkyds), inks (flexo/gravure), adhesives &
thinners; parts cleaning/degreasing.
• Chemical feedstock; isomer stream (o/m/p‑xylene) for downstream oxidation. |
• 180–200 kg steel drums (lined).
• 940–1,000 kg IBCs • 20–25 MT ISO/bulk tanks. |
• Flammable liquid/vapor (Class 3). Use EX‑proof
equipment; ground/bond; eliminate ignition sources.
• Store cool, ventilated; keep tightly closed; segregate from oxidizers and acids. • Harmful by inhalation — local exhaust, monitoring, PPE per SDS. |
Representative specs. We align purity, water and
benzene/ethylbenzene limits to your coating/ink system or HPLC
requirements. COA per lot; samples available.
