Quality Control

Our Nickel Boride is produced and handled under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality parameters including purity, particle size, and catalytic activity are rigorously tested. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to prevent oxidation and degradation. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
