Hello,
what is the best method to store para-/ortho-Phenylenediamine? In the freezer like Glycin?
thanks,
Oliver

I'd expect this to be stable as a dry compound. A glass jar in a cupboard would do nicely. Keep it dry.

Careful though. That's nasty stuff.

No, but with most of these developing compounds, it's measured in decades when stored dry. The ones that go 'off' easily are in fact the exceptions.
