Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is a strong acid/organic solvent; keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, amines, and oxidizing agents. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis and maintain purity.
