Quality Control

Our Magnesium Nitrate Hexahydrate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, heavy metal content, and other critical parameters. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements, including those for agricultural or reagent-grade materials.

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) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent caking and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as combustible substances and strong reducing agents.
