Storage
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the product in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity, to prevent degradation and maintain effectiveness.
Keep Containers Tightly Closed: Ensure that the product is stored in its original, tightly sealed containers to avoid contamination, moisture absorption, or leakage.
Avoid Exposure to Strong Oxidizers: Do not store CMIT near strong oxidizing agents, acids, or alkalis, as these can react with the product and cause chemical instability.
Maintain Storage Temperature: Store at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C (41°F and 86°F). Do not allow the product to freeze or be exposed to excessive heat, as this may compromise its quality.
