Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize degradation and maintain stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizing agents, and moisture.
