Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can lead to degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
