Quality Control

Our Yttrium Boride is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase identification and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy for elemental purity verification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, particle size distribution, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

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 (e.g., argon) for long-term storage to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
