Divinylbenzene CAS 1321-74-0

1. Divinylbenzene is primarily used as a crosslinking agent in the production of ion-exchange resins, adsorbents, and polymeric beads.
2. Divinylbenzene CAS 1321-74-0 serves as a key monomer in the synthesis of high-performance plastics, elastomers, and specialty polymers.
3. Divinylbenzene is employed in chromatography media, as a component in composite materials, and in the manufacture of controlled-release drug delivery systems.

1. Store Divinylbenzene in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) with an inhibitor (e.g., TBC) in a cool, dark, well-ventilated, refrigerated area away from all ignition sources.
2. Keep Divinylbenzene CAS 1321-74-0 strictly separated from strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases, and polymerization initiators to prevent violent exothermic polymerization.
3. Handle Divinylbenzene with extreme care using non-sparking tools; it is highly reactive and must be constantly cooled and monitored during storage and transfer.

1. Immediately evacuate the area, eliminate all ignition sources, isolate the spill, and ensure forced ventilation. Approach only with full chemical and fire-resistant protective gear.
2. Do not touch spilled material. Contain Divinylbenzene CAS 1321-74-0 the leak with non-combustible absorbent (e.g., sand). Collect into a sealed, labeled container for polymerizable hazardous waste.
3. Prevent entry into drains or confined spaces. Decontaminate area with solvent or detergent. Dispose of waste via professional hazardous waste services under strict regulations. Do not attempt large-scale cleanup without expert guidance.

1. Divinylbenzene is highly flammable, toxic if swallowed or inhaled, and causes severe skin burns, eye damage, and respiratory irritation.
2. Divinylbenzene is a potent sensitizer (skin and respiratory), a suspected carcinogen, and its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air.
3. Full Divinylbenzene CAS 1321-74-0 protective equipment (chemical-resistant gloves, face shield, explosion-proof ventilation, respirator) is mandatory. Handle only in a certified fume hood with strict inhibitor checks. Consult the Safety Data Sheet before any use.
