Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent degradation from moisture ingress.
