Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
