Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition.
