Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
