Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
