Storage issues of hydrazine hydrate
Thread Content
How is hydrazine hydrate usually stored? Can it be stored in 304 stainless steel? Our company plans to use 304 stainless steel for the storage tanks and delivery pipelines of hydrazine hydrate. I’m not sure if this is an appropriate choice; I would appreciate everyone’s advice. Thank you in advance!!
Plastic tanks and carbon steel tanks for storage; stainless steel is also available
Hydrazine hydrate is a nearly colorless and transparent liquid with a distinct odor; it is a strong reducing agent, corrosive, and penetrative, and it can absorb carbon dioxide from the air. It is generally stored in plastic containers.
It should be possible; we use hydrazine for deoxygenation here, and the storage tanks are made of stainless steel
For easy storage, transportation, and sale, they are generally packaged in sealed plastic drums.
Stainless steel is fine; that’s how I store it here
