Storage
Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from sources of ignition and heat; maintain storage temperature below 30°C and relative humidity below 80%. Store separately from reducing agents, active metal powders, acids, and flammable materials; do not store together. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials for containing spills.
