Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO) Storage 

and Transportation

It is flammable, so it should be 

stored in a shady and cool place to 

avoid oxidant
And acid. The container should be 

sealed tightly after each use to 

avoid damp and oxidation. 
Its shelf life is one year. Please 

handle the transport procedures by 

ordinary chemical standard.
