Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of peroxides. Keep away from strong bases and reactive metals.
