Quality Control

Our Magnesium Potassium Chloride is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets agreed-upon specifications. Key parameters such as assay (Mg and K content), chloride content, and impurity profiles are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Store away from incompatible materials.
