Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should only be opened in an inert environment and resealed immediately after use. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
