Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Store away from incompatible materials.
