Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile and strong oxidizing nature, it must be segregated from reducing agents, acids, bases, and other incompatible materials. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
