Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). The original container should be kept sealed under dry, inert atmosphere when not in use to prevent moisture uptake and maintain product integrity.
