Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry area
Keep in a well-ventilated, explosion-proof warehouse
Store away from oxidising agents and ignition sources
Keep away from all heat sources and open flames
Recommended storage temperature below 25°C
Use grounded containers to prevent static discharge

Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene)
Safety goggles or splash guard
Adequate ventilation or organic vapour respirator
Protective clothing to minimise skin exposure
