Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize volatility and oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers should be kept sealed and allowed to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture ingress.
