Thank you! We have been doing it the same way. But our new safety
officer thinks it is unsafe........

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
