Quality Control

Our Magnesium Chlorate is manufactured under strict process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical tests, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from combustible materials, reducing agents, and strong acids. Observe all local and international regulations for oxidizing substances.
