Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent degradation and loss of potency. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
