Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile and strong alkaline nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
