To store 3-trifluoromethylphenol CAS 98-17-9 safely and effectively.

1. Use a tightly sealed container made of materials compatible with organic compounds, such as glass or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Ensure the container is specifically designed for chemical storage.

2. Store 3-trifluoromethylphenol CAS 98-17-9 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible materials. A designated chemical storage cabinet is ideal.

3. Keep 3-trifluoromethylphenol at a controlled room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, as this can affect the stability of the compound.

4. Ensure that the container is kept closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and goggles, when handling the substance.

5. Clearly label the container with the contents, hazard warnings, and the date of storage.

6. Periodically inspect the storage area and the container for any signs of leaks, damage, or degradation.

7. Have appropriate spill containment materials and safety equipment (such as fire extinguishers and eyewash stations) readily available in the storage area.

8. Follow local regulations for the disposal of 3-trifluoromethylphenol CAS 98-17-9 and any waste materials generated during its use.
