Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
