Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere if necessary to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
