Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Store away from heat, sparks, and open flame in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent loss of product and degradation.
