Quality Control

Our Lead Zirconate Titanate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase purity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology, and laser particle size analysis. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key piezoelectric parameters (e.g., d33, kp, εr), density, and chemical composition to meet the stringent requirements of advanced manufacturing and research.

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). Keep the container sealed to protect the material from moisture and atmospheric contamination, which can affect its electrical properties. Isolate from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
