Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in its original sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
