Quality Control

Our Dipotassium Zincate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets defined specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, which can degrade the product. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
