Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
