Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, this material should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, preferably under an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
