Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent decomposition. For solutions, store at 2-8°C in a dedicated, well-ventilated area for flammable materials. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
