Quality Control

Our Lithium Metaphosphate is produced and controlled under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with minimal humidity exposure. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Opened containers should be flushed with an inert gas (e.g., argon or nitrogen) and resealed immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
