Storing SN in hot climates

[HelloAllYouPeople]

This is for members in hotter climates who are also worried about storing SN

• Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions. Unstable if heated, may explode at temperatures greater than 533°C.
• Conditions to Avoid: Ignition sources, dust generation, exposure to air, exposure to moist air or water, temperatures above 320°C
• Decomposition temperature: 320°C

note: Just make sure your SN container is airtight and don't open until exit day.
I just got my SN today and I was worried since temperatures in my country can reach up to over 40°C or 104°F. Most of the SN storage temperatures mentioned in this site don't go above 30°C so I had to do research. Hopefully this helps other members!

I also live in a very hot country, so, since we don't open it, it will be cool storaged at 35~40°C?
Thanks for the info anyway!

Im not sure, sorry! But some guidelines mention to keep it at 38C or below. Other guidelines say to just make sure its in a dry place. Unfortunately below 38 will be impossible for me in the summer months :(

If you have safe deposit box at a bank those are usually air conditioned.

Does a heater being on count as being "heated"? My room thermometer doesn't go above 30°C, but I'm always worried when the heater turns on.

I can die in a bank vault. Wow that's an idea.
