Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
