Storage method

Mercaptoacetic acid need to be saved in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from tinder, warmness sources. Keep the container tightly sealed. Should be saved one at a time from the oxidant, keep away from combined storage. Equipped with furnace combat tools of corresponding types and quantities. Storage areas must be geared up with emergency remedy tools for leakage and appropriate containment materials.
