Safety and Handling• Storage:• PAA solutions should be kept in cool
environments when possible. • Never store a PAA drum outdoors in a
bright sunlight without protecting the tops from direct sun. Sunlight will increase the temperature in the headspace of a drum, and the gas may expand faster than the venting membrane devices will allow.

Safety and Handling• Miscellaneous safety:• NEVER place or pour concentrated PAA
solutions into any type of other holding device, such as ‘shot’ feeders, day tanks, or any other type of container, unless it is dedicated for PAA and is made of compatible materials.
• As a rule, add PAA solutions to water only.

Safety and Handling• NEVER return PAA solutions back to the original
container once it is removed. The slightest contamination may degrade the product remaining in the drum, or may set off a decomposition reaction, which evolves oxygen and heat.
• ALWAYS wear gloves, goggles or faceshield, and other appropriate chemical resistant gear when handling peroxyacetic acid products.
