Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere or in a dry environment to prevent hydrolysis. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and organic compounds.
