Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
