WE do not store our 10 NBF in flammable storage.
However, Could you tell me where you found this direction of storing
only 1 gallon per 100 sq. feet in a flammable cabinet, and 1 gallon

No, it is ridiculous. Safety people tried to argue this with us years ago.
One of our pathologists told them, How can something that is almost 90%
water be a combustion hazard?

Thank you all! I have received many responses already concerning 10%
Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF) storage. Only one person has stated
that they store all chemicals, including formalin, in safety cabinets.

We too were told by our internal safety compliance officer that 10% NBF has to
be stored in flammable cabinets and that is now how we store it. We were also

Theoretically, the fumes of HCl can react with the formaldehyde fumes to
produce bis-chloromethyl ether, which is twice as toxic as osmium
tetroxide. The yield from this reaction at 1 Atm is so small that I
don't think I would worry about
