Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maximize shelf life and inhibit premature polymerization.
