What is the common material used for formaldehyde storage tanks? What is the material of the phenol storage tank? Can aluminum be used? What’s the difference? Thank you!

The material for the formaldehyde storage tank and the phenol storage tank is 304 stainless steel

Thank you, can an aluminum storage tank be used? What standards were used as a reference for this material selection? Please give me some advice. Thank you!

\"Table of Materials for Chemical Process Piping\" is excerpted from the second edition of the \"Control Valve Handbook\", edited by J.W. Hutchison of the American Instrument Society

Thank you. I’ve seen the reference materials, but aluminum is not mentioned in the table. I would like to ask: based on your experience, can aluminum tanks be used to store formaldehyde and phenol?

I checked the corrosion data manual; aluminum used with formaldehyde is susceptible to pitting corrosion, but overall, the performance is good; Phenol can be stored in aluminum cans. I recommend using 316 material for formaldehyde and 304 for phenol. Aluminum has low strength, so the wall thickness should be relatively thick. Problems are not easy to handle.

Thank you, is there an electronic version of this corrosion data manual? Could you send me one for reference? Thank you for your advice!
