Stability and storage conditions
Storage conditions: n-Octanol should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures, as heat may cause volatilization, oxidation, or decomposition, affecting its quality. It should be kept in sealed containers to prevent exposure to oxygen, moisture, and impurities in the air, thereby slowing oxidation and degradation. Additionally, n-Octanol should be stored separately from other chemicals to avoid cross-contamination or unwanted chemical reactions.
Shelf life: 2 years (unopened)
