Dubai, UAE — September 15, 2026 — Oscar Middle East FZCO, operator of a bulk liquid storage terminal in Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), has published a new guide addressing the key requirements for safe and compliant solvent storage and handling for chemical traders.

Solvents can present significant storage challenges because many are flammable, volatile, and sensitive to temperature and handling conditions. Proper infrastructure is therefore essential to minimize risks such as fire, vapor buildup, static discharge, contamination, and product degradation.

The new guide, “Solvents Storage and Handling: A Guide for Chemical Traders in JAFZA,” explains the infrastructure and operational practices traders should consider when selecting a storage partner. Key requirements include explosion-proof equipment, adequate ventilation, chemical segregation, appropriate fire suppression systems, temperature control, grounding and bonding, spill containment, and regular equipment inspections.

JAFZA offers an important logistical advantage for chemical traders because of its proximity to Jebel Ali Port and established road and maritime connectivity. Oscar Terminals operates a purpose-built bulk liquid terminal within JAFZA, supporting chemical storage and handling across various product categories. The facility provides dedicated tanks for Class I, II, IIIA and IIIB products, along with marine and road tanker access, heating, chilling, inerting and nitrogen blanketing systems.

The company also emphasizes the importance of compliance documentation, product labeling, safety data sheets, staff training and regular safety audits when managing solvents and other hazardous liquids.

“Solvent storage requires more than available tank capacity,” said a spokesperson for Oscar Terminals. “Chemical traders need purpose-built infrastructure, controlled handling procedures and reliable logistics to protect both product integrity and operational safety.”

Oscar Terminals supports chemical producers, traders and manufacturers with tank leasing, bulk liquid storage, vendor managed inventory, breaking bulk and repacking, specialty chemical monitoring, and toll blending services from its JAFZA facility.

The full guide provides a practical overview of solvent storage risks, essential infrastructure, handling procedures, JAFZA logistics advantages and factors traders should evaluate when choosing a solvent storage partner.
