Safe Flammable Oils, Flavorants, And Extract Storage
Food extracts and concentrated liquid flavorings are a great way for manufacturers to add a little bit of pizazz and spice to otherwise bland dishes without increasing the overall volume. Most food flavorings are derived from oils that are extracted from the original source, such as the oil squeezed from a vanilla bean to make vanilla extract. Likewise, peppermint extract is made from the essential oils of peppermint leaves. This particular extract is used in not only cooking tasty holiday dishes, but is also a common ingredient in cleaning products, gum, and even mouthwash. While they are commonly used in some of favorite foods, food extracts can be very volatile if not handled correctly.
Many food manufacturers will need large volume bulk storage solutions for handling large quantities of food extracts and essential oils. U.S. Hazmat Storage can also provide hazmat storage lockers to accommodate chemical drums and IBC tote containers for oils and extracts.
Artificial flavorings carry their own unique risks and must be stored in climate controlled environments that prevent fire and to preserve consistency. These types of flavorings are created by using alcohol, glycerol, methyl cyclopentenolone, diacetyl, methyl methoxy pyrazine, and benzaldehyde. Often times, it is these chemicals, and not the foods themselves that we are tasting and smelling. Such chemicals are also very common in food manufacturing. You would be hard-pressed to find a brand of food or product line that doesn’t contain some type of artificial flavoring. Synthesized flavorings were originally made to make processed food taste better and remain a cheaper alternative to manufacturing bulk ingredients.

As the medicinal uses for cannabis oil continue to become more prevalent, purveyors will need to find steel-welded protection to keep volatile solvents away from possible accelerants and ignitors.
IBC Tote Storage for Flood Flavorings and Extracts
While artificial flavorings and extracts can add shelf life and value to almost any mass produced product, they do not come without inherent risks. Liquid flavorings and extracts, many of which contain alcohol, are flammable and must be stored like other hazardous materials. Some of the properties used in manufacturing flavorings, such as Benzaldehyde, can produce poisonous gas in the event of fire. Intermediate Bulk Containers are a great way to store large quantities of natural and synthetic flavorings in a safe and stable environment. Since many of the chemicals used in flavorings are solvents, they require an extra layer of protection and must be handled with care.
Up To 4 Hour Fire Rated Liquid Storage Tote Compliance
IBC caged containers, which can be cleaned and reused, are easy to transport and store. Chemical totes are a logical storage solution. These large bulk containers are ideal for the universal handling, storing and disposal of large volumes of dangerous liquid chemicals. Totes are also bulky and cumbersome, and can become hard to manage at a job-site. Moving the containers for workflow processes while maintaining storage compliance can be difficult. U.S. Hazmat Storage has a line of fire-rated storage lockers that can easily accommodate IBC totes for storing natural and artificial flavorings U.S. Hazmat Rentals offers complete protection for IBC tote container storage.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines can cause serious injury or death. You must also contend with hefty fines and penalties if you are found to be out of compliance.
