Storage & Handling

Storage Information

Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store in cool, well ventilated area. Steel is corroded by sulfonic acids and is not recommended for prolonged storage at elevated temperatures since iron and color contamination could result. Dilution with water may increase corrosivity of the acid. Material will absorb moisture. Avoid freezing.
