Hi Debbie,

 

Stanford’s storage group scheme currently has acetic anhydride classified for storage as L, flammables/combustibles including solvents.

 

I asked my ChemTracker chemical classification team to take a new look at this to determine whether or not the best placement might be in storage group X, … incompatible with all others, therefore store segregated away from all others.

 

I will let you know.

 

Best,

Kevin

Hi:

 

How would ya’ll store acetic anhydride – flammable, corrosive, toxic, water reactive, toxic, and incompatible with acids, bases, alcohols, amines.

 

Yummy.

 

We’ve all been way down the rabbit hole around here without good consensus.

 

Thanks for your input.,
