Quality Control

Our Potassium Titanate is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through a series of analytical and physical tests, including chemical assay, crystal phase identification (XRD), and morphology analysis (SEM). 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); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect flow properties and performance.
