Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the potential for hygroscopicity, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
