Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store this material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents and sources of ignition.
