Incompatible Chemical Hazard Groups Mineral Acids Do NOT Store with… Hydrochloric acid Sulfuric Acid Phosphoric Acid Hydrogen peroxide Sodium hydroxide Calcium hydroxide Chloroform Strong Organic Acids 3, 4 Acetic Acid Formic Acid Special Notes: Acetone Methanol Nitric Acid (keep separate) Acetic Acid Do NOT Store with… Hydrogen peroxide Sodium hydroxide Sulfuric Acid Acetone Methanol Chloroform Acetonitrile Benzene 1. Organic acids are varied and may be incompatible with each other. Check MSDSs for specifics 2. Store nitric acid separately in its own secondary container. It is a strong oxidizer. 3. Store acetic acid away from oxidizing agents — especially nitric acid. 4. Acetic acid may be stored with some inorganic acids and most flammable solvents but keep in a separate secondary container. (>70% acetic acid is combustible). Weak Organic Acids These are typically not corrosive and not strongly reactive and can be stored with general liquid lab chemicals. Examples include butyric, maleic, and benzoic acids.
