Packaging, Preservation and Transportation:
THF is normally contained in galvanized steel drums or bulk bins. It should be stored in cool, dry and well-ventilated places and be kept away from heat source, sparks and naked fire. The storage and transportation should be isolated from air using azoth sealant, and avoid mixing with oxidants or strong acid when stored. To prevent static electricity, the transporting vessel should be earthed. THF is inflammable liquid, and the vessels should be properly labeled with inflammable liquid warning signs.
