ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10 of
SDS) and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination.
