Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive and reactive halogenated nature of the compound, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere when not in use to maintain stability.
