Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive (store away from light), prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or light should be avoided. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
