Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile. It must be stored under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. For solutions, typical recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and solvent loss.
