Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
