Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Store at controlled room temperature.
