Why should volatile dry solvents not be stored in high temperatures?

Volatile dry solvents should not be stored in high temperatures primarily because they have high evaporation rates. When exposed to elevated temperatures, these solvents can evaporate quickly, leading to a decrease in their effectiveness and potentially creating safety hazards. High temperatures can increase the pressure of vapors in containers, creating a risk of explosion or fire, and can also result in the loss of valuable solvent that could otherwise be used for cleaning tasks.

Understanding the behavior of these solvents is crucial for maintaining safety and ensuring the effectiveness of the cleaning process. Proper storage conditions help to preserve the solvent’s performance and prevent the potential dangers associated with high-temperature storage.
