Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents.
