Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to minimize headspace in opened containers and consider storage under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from excessive heat and moisture.
