This compound is moisture-sensitive and hydrolyzes rapidly to release corrosive HCl gas. Storage requires hermetically sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area below 25°C. Personnel must wear full chemical-resistant PPE, including eye protection and respirators, due to severe skin and respiratory irritation risks.
