Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
