Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and should be stored away from direct light exposure. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize contact with air, as it may be susceptible to oxidation over time under prolonged exposure.
