Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
