Storage & Handling
- Recommended Storage
- Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated flammables area away from heat, sparks, open flame and direct sunlight. Store in an area designed for flammable liquids and keep locked up. Ground and bond containers when transferring.Adjudicated
- Handling Precautions
- Use chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles. Bond and ground during transfer to prevent static accumulation. Eliminate ignition sources within vapor envelope.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Incompatibilities
- Strong oxidizers (peroxides, nitric acid, perchlorates, chromic acid) — violent reaction; strong acids and strong bases; chloroform with bases; halogens.Adjudicated
- Shelf Life
- Consult Technical Services for product-specific shelf life
