Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions. Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
