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). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
