3.Application scope and Usage
Methylbenzene is an intermediate for fungicides such as mancozeb, fuberacil, benomyl, oxycarboxin, and carbendazim, as well as insecticides and acaricides like dimethoate, monomethoate, and malathion, and herbicides like kresoxim-methyl and isobutrenone.
4.Package and Storage
The warehouse should be well-ventilated, kept at a low temperature and dry; and stored separately from oxidants.
