How to Store Muriatic Acid
- 1). Store muriatic acid in the original container (plastic) and seal the cap tightly.
- 2). Place muriatic acid in an upright position in a cool, dry location. Ensure the storage location receives abundant air ventilation but no direct sunlight. An acid-resistant floor is optimal for muriatic acid storage.
- 3). Keep incompatible materials away from muriatic acid as you store it. Incompatible materials include metals, caustic materials, carbides, cyanides, fluorides, silicates, sulphides and any oxidizing materials.
- 4). Avoid storage near sources of heat and open flames.
