Quality Control

Our Lithium Carbonate is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with international standards, including USP, Ph. Eur., and battery-grade specifications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing for purity, heavy metal content, and specific impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and specification adherence.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and CO2.
