Store
Chloroacetic acid is packed in polypropylene woven bags lined with double-layer plastic bags. During transportation, it should be protected from direct sunlight, moisture and damaged packaging. It should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry place, away from fire and heat sources, and should be stored separately from oxides, alkalis, flammables and other items. The shelf life at room temperature is one year, and it is not suitable for long-term storage under high temperature in summer.
