Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
