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); containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as alcohols, amines, and strong bases.
