Hi,

We are asked by our safety officer to find out what the common practice is to
store 10% NBF. Is it in the chemical hood only or solvent bunkers? Can the
un-opened jars be stored in regular cabinet or on bench top? As far as I know
formalin is not flammable. Your experience and knowledge in this area are
appreciated.

Thanks,
Shu-cheng
