Quality Control

Our Zirconium Carbide is manufactured under controlled conditions and subjected to rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with technical specifications. Key parameters such as purity, particle size distribution, and oxygen content are strictly monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each 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). The material is stable under inert conditions but should be kept away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
