Quality Control

Our Silver Oxide is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, heavy metal limits, and chloride content analysis, to meet the exacting requirements of the battery, electronics, and chemical synthesis industries. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as reducing agents, acids, and combustible substances. Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to decompose, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
