Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) is recommended for optimal stability.
