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); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent caking and degradation.
