| Storage Notes | Stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from light and moisture; away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, and heat sources; keep container closed to prevent oxidation and contamination; if stored below its melting point (~24°C), the material may solidify – gentle warming (30–40°C) with stirring to re-liquefy before use. |
