Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration of peroxides over time.
