Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
