Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
