Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the presence of functional groups that may be sensitive, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize potential degradation.
