Application
Pesticides (Primary Applications): Synthesis of herbicides, insecticides, and plant growth regulators including 2,4-D, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Glyphosate, Dichlorvos, Carbofuran, and Chlorpyrifos
• Pharmaceuticals: Synthesis of intermediates for Caffeine, Barbiturates, Epinephrine, Vitamin B6, etc.

• Organic Synthesis: Production of fine chemicals including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), mercaptoacetic acid, chloroacetic chloride, esters, and amides

• Other Applications: Metal surface treatment, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, preservatives, electroplating additives


Storage
Storage Conditions: Cool, ventilated, dry dedicated warehouse; temperature ≤32°C, humidity ≤80%

• Packaging: Sealed, moisture-proof, leak-proof; preferably in plastic-lined iron/steel drums

• Isolation: Store separately from oxidizers, reducing agents, alkalis, and food-grade chemicals; mixed storage strictly prohibited

• Management: Implement dual-person receipt/dispatch and dual-person custody procedures; keep away from ignition sources and heat; equip with firefighting equipment and leak containment materials

• Transportation: Transport according to corrosive and toxic chemical regulations; avoid exposure to sunlight and rain
