Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to prevent hydrolysis and oxidation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Handle and open containers in a controlled, dry environment.
