Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F) with controlled low humidity. For long-term stability, consider storing under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen.
