1. A method for bulk transporting 2,6-xylenol, comprising: (a) loading 2,6-xylenol into a bulk shipping container that conforms to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications for the shipment of chemicals susceptible to oxidative discoloration, wherein the bulk shipping container is purged with a non-oxidative gas prior to loading of the 2,6-xylenol to replace the air/oxygen from the bulk shipping container with the non-oxidative gas; wherein the oxygen (O2) concentration after loading the 2,6-xylenol in the bulk shipping container interior is between about 0.01 percent and 10 percent; and(b) sealing the bulk shipping container loaded with 2,6-xylenol under a positive pressure of the non-oxidative gas;wherein the APHA yellow color index of the 2,6-xylenol is maintained at 100 APHA or less. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the bulk shipping container is equipped with a pressure monitoring device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the non-oxidative gas is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, helium, neon, and argon, or mixtures thereof. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the non-oxidative gas is nitrogen or argon, or mixtures thereof. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein a positive pressure of the non-oxidative gas is maintained in the shipping container during loading. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein an antioxidant is optionally added to the bulk shipping container. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the antioxidant comprises an organophosphate antioxidant. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the antioxidant comprises bis (2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)pentraerythritol diphosphite. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the 2,6-xylenol loaded into the bulk shipping container at a temperature that is above the melting temperature of the 2,6-xylenol susceptible to discoloration. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the temperature is between about 50 and 100° C. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the temperature is between about 60 and 90° C. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the bulk shipping container loaded with the 2,6-xylenol is pressurized with the non-oxidative gas prior to sealing, to produce a positive pressure of about 1 to about 20 psig of the non-oxidative gas. 13. The method of claim 1 that minimizes formation of colored degradation products. 14. The method of claim 1 that limits discoloration of the 2,6-xylenol. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial APHA of the 2,6-xylenol is 75. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial APHA of the 2,6-xylenol is 50. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the change in APHA compared to the initial APHA of the 2,6-xylenol after loading and off-loading the container is less than 100. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial APHA of the 2,6-xylenol is 25. 19. A method for bulk transporting 2,6-xylenol susceptible to oxidative discoloration from a first to a second location, comprising: (a) loading 2,6-xylenol into the interior of a bulk shipping container that conforms to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications for the shipment of chemicals susceptible to oxidative discoloration, wherein the bulk shipping container is purged with a non-oxidative gas prior to loading of the 2,6-xylenol to replace the air/oxygen from the bulk shipping container with the non-oxidative gas; wherein the oxygen (O2) concentration after loading the 2,6-xylenol in the bulk shipping container interior is between about 0.01 percent and 10 percent, and wherein an antioxidant is added to the bulk shipping container prior to loading the 2,6-xylenol;(b) sealing the bulk shipping container loaded with 2,6-xylenol under a positive pressure of the non-oxidative gas and then transporting the bulk shipping container;(c) maintaining a positive pressure of the non-oxidative gas in the interior compartment of the shipping container during transporting to the second location; and(d) off-loading 2,6-xylenol susceptible to oxidative discoloration at the second location to a receiving tank under a positive pressure of the non-oxidative gas. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising heating 2,6-xylenol to above its melting temperature prior to step (a) and step (d). 21. The method of claim 19, wherein a positive pressure of the non-oxidative gas is maintained in the bulk shipping container during loading. 22. The method of claim 19, wherein the non-oxidative gas is nitrogen optionally admixed with argon. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein the antioxidant is an organophosphate antioxidant. 24. The method of claim 19, wherein the antioxidant is bis (2,4-di-t-butyphenyl)penetraerythritol diphosphite. 25. The method of claim 19, wherein the APHA of 2,6-xylenol at the first location is less than 100. 26. The method of claim 19, wherein the bulk shipping container is pressurized to from about 5 to about 20 psig of the non-oxidative gas at the first location. 27. The method of claim 19, wherein the bulk shipping container arrives at the second location with an interior positive pressure of from above 0 to about 20 psig. 28. The method of claim 19, wherein the oxygen (O2) concentration in the shipping container at the first and second locations is from about 0.01 percent to about 10 percent. 29. The method of claim 19, wherein the APHA of 2,6-xylenol at the first location is less than 100 and the APHA of 2,6-xylenol at the second location is less than 100 APHA.
