Stability and storage conditions

Storage conditions: n-Octanol should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures. High temperatures may cause it to volatilize, oxidize, or decompose, affecting its quality. Secondly, n-Octanol should be stored in a sealed container to prevent the entry of oxygen, moisture, and impurities from the air, thereby slowing down its oxidation and degradation. Furthermore, n-Octanol should be stored separately from other chemicals to avoid cross-contamination or unnecessary chemical reactions .

Shelf life: 2 years (unopened)
