Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This amine is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after use to prevent absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.
