Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the potential sensitivity of the thiocyanate functional group, prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or strong oxidizing agents should be avoided.
