Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability, although short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
