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 and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
