chemical storage
Bulk storage of unpackaged raw chemicals in gaseous, liquid, or solid form, where no more specific material category applies.
Chemical storage facilities are places for bulk storage of any raw chemicals not covered by other categories. They may be either gas, liquid, or solid. This does not include warehouse storage of packaged chemicals or chemical products.
Physical state does not restrict the usage: raw chemical gases, liquids, and solids are all included. A more specific commodity-storage definition takes precedence where applicable.
Packaged chemicals and finished chemical products in a warehouse are outside this meaning. The definition concerns the bulk raw substance.
