Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure that the workshop is well ventilated. Stay away from fire. Store away from oxidants. Can be stored in iron, mild steel, copper or aluminum containers.

Generally with iron drums, large quantities can be shipped by tanker. Fine products can be packed in glass or tin jars. Storage tank should be grounded and flame arrester should be used to prevent fire. Appropriate sun protection, away from fire, heat source. Store and transport according to general chemical regulations
