Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to minimize evaporation and pressure build-up. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, strong acids, and bases.
