Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or stored in a dark place. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
