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 tightly sealed under dry conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
