Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and in original packaging until use to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants and inert atmosphere.
