Copper and copper alloys are stable toward propionic acid up to its boiling point, but only if the solutions are free from air or oxidizing substances. ... Containers made of aluminum with a purity of 99.5 % (DIN no. 3.0255) or alloyed steels (DIN no. 1.4541/UNS no.: S 30 400 and 1.4571/S 31 600) are suitable for storing pure propionic acid. Aluminum is unstable toward aqueous propionic acid. Polyethylene containers can be used for temporary storage of propionic acid and as small packing drums.
