Keep in a cool, well-ventilated, dry warehouse
Store away from oxidising agents and ignition sources
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames
Recommended storage temperature below 30°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
Avoid prolonged skin contact and inhalation
Consult Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling
