Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
