Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties as a strong acid/organic solvent, hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), and highly volatile nature, this product must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as bases, alcohols, and oxidizing agents.
