Quality Control

Our Ammonium Pentaborate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets defined specifications for purity, composition, and physical properties. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and impurity levels. We are committed to supplying material that meets the consistency and reliability standards required for industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in a well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Minimize exposure to air to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
