Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
