Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to air and moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere.
