Chemical Segregation and Storage Always Consult the Manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet Prior to Storage and Handling Class of Chemicals Recommended Storage Method and Additional Concerns Flammable Liquids An approved flammable storage cabinet *Remember: peroxide-forming chemicals must be dated upon delivery and opening (consult Peroxide Forming-Chemical Handout) In a ventilated, dry, cool area in a chemically resistant secondary container Toxics Common Chemical Examples Common Incompatibles. (Always Consult MSDS) Ethanol, Methanol, Acetone, Xylene, Toluene, *Diethyl Ether, *Tetrahydrofuran Oxidizers, reactives, acids, bases Chloroform, Cyanides, Heavy Metal Compounds (e.g. Cadmium, Mercury) Flammable liquids, acids, bases, reactive, oxidizers please consult EHS for assistance Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Chromic Acid, Nitric Acid Corrosive AcidsInorganic Corrosive Acids- Organic Store in corrosives cabinet (marked ACID), or on protected shelving and in secondary containment *Do NOT store acids on metal shelving Store in corrosives cabinet, on protected shelving, secondary containment away from inorganic acids *Do NOT store acids on metal shelving CorrosiveBasesInorganic Corrosive Bases-Organic Store in corrosives cabinet, or on protected shelving away from acids Ammonium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide Flammable liquids, flammable solids, bases and oxidizers, organic acids, cyanides, sulfides Flammable liquids, flammable solids, bases and oxidizers, inorganic acids, cyanides, sulfides Flammable liquids, acids, oxidizers, organic bases Store in corrosive cabinet, and separated from acids and inorganic bases Hydroxylamine, Tetramethylethylamine Diamine, Triethylamine Acids, oxidizers, hypochlorites, inorganic bases Flammable Solids Oxidizers Cool dry area away from oxidizers and corrosives Carbon, Charcoal, Paraformaldehyde Acids, bases, oxidizers Store in secondary containment with noncombustibles or inorganic material Store in a cool dry location. Protect from fire sprinkler system and sources of water.
