Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) when not in use to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizers and incompatible materials.
