Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts with fluorides and strong alkalis; it must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and handled in a dry, controlled environment to prevent decomposition.
