Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Keep away from alkalis. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous — do not reuse the container. Absorb spillage to prevent material damage.

Storage

Store in a corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner. Store locked up. Separate from alkalis. Keep the container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Do not store below 0 °C.

Incompatible Materials

Attacks many metals, producing extremely flammable hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures with air. Reactive or incompatible with alkalis and metals.
