Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts with water, strong bases, and alcohols. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents.
