Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere if specified. Store at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong bases.
