Quality Control

Our Strontium Oxide is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the product must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, which can degrade product quality. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
