Quality Control

Our Gyrolite is sourced and processed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial and research applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure consistent chemical composition, crystallinity, and purity. While specific industrial grades are available, our standard quality control includes verification via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chemical analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can alter its properties.
