Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration of peroxides.
