Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere if possible and opened with minimal exposure to ambient humidity.
