Acetone Storage
Know where and how to store and handle the highly flammable chemical acetone.
Do you work at a company where flammable and combustible liquid chemicals are found? Some of these chemicals may include acetone, alcohol, cleaners, gases, and paints; just to name a few. These hazardous liquids assist with many processes and productions used daily in a work place. Be aware that if used or stored improperly, serious fires and injuries could occur, sometimes leading to death. Below you will find more information on the specific chemical, acetone, and the handling and storage practices.
Acetone is highly regulated, which means it must be stored in compliance to federal and state regulations. Proper storage means keeping acetone alcohol away from various heat sources. The chemical must be stored in a well-ventilated area completed with proper vents and temperature controls. Do NOT store acetone with concentrated Sulfuric or Nitric Acid mixtures. Please note acetone not combustible but it is highly flammable. Along with specific storage needs acetone needs to be handled properly too. When using acetone it is ideal to wear safety gloves and goggles and if possible a ventilated mask.
US Hazmat Chemical storage buildings are equipped with proper storage needs for acetone but also countless other flammable and combustible chemicals. Our storage units include explosion-proof ventilation, lighting, and electrical components. The container itself must be stored away from oxidizing materials and inside approved flammable containers before storing inside a chemical storage building. Containers must always be grounded before transferring chemicals.
