Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation from moisture. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as bases, alcohols, and oxidizing agents.
