Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent absorption of water and CO2 from the air. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids.
