Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and should be stored away from light. Due to its potential for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage of opened containers.
