How would you store Dimethyldicarbonate for longer periods of time (>12 months), as we have noticed during shipping this chemical or either during its storage we saw busted bottles or necks. How could we stabilize this chemical better, even when we store them at R.T and pack them under nitrogen. Is there any stabilizer we could add….
waiting for your response.
Dear Ravi, apologies for delay in reply as I was travelling. For long time storage I would suggest you ask the manufacturer for guidance.
