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 (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at recommended cold temperatures (e.g., 2-8°C or as specified). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Store only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated, dedicated area.
