- Storage Condition
Store in dry, cool, well ventilated areas away from incompatible materials, food and drink. Keep in original container or transfer only to approved containers having correct labeling. Handle and store under inert gas. Keep away from strong acids.; Keep away trom heat. Hygroscopic material. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption. Protect container from physical damage. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent spillage.; Keep away from water. Product can liberate hydrogen gas upon contact with water. It is recommended that containers be checked periodically for pressure buildup. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.; Do not reuse empty containers as they retain product residues. Ventilate closed areas. Do not take internallv. Keep locked up and out of reach of children
