Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
