Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and sources of ignition. Containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
