Quality Control

Our Nickel Boride is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity, particle size, and catalytic activity. Our quality systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial catalysis and advanced material synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized material, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents.
