    what are the best conditions for storing raw materials in the warehouse?
    In most data sheet it sais : “protect from high humidity and keep at room temperature”. As room temperature i understand  20-25 ° C and as high humidity 65% . Is it appropriate? Is there any minimum humidity that must be in the warehouse?

    Temperature is crucial, but if your containers are closed, humidity doesn’t matter as much. Those numbers sound appropriate to me.  Lower humidity could result in a material drying out but that is only if it is not in a sealed container.

    Thank you for you reply. What do you mean by “lower humidity”? 20%?

    @Karo_lina - yea 20% or lower would be around what I was referring to.
