Quality Control

Our Aluminium-Nickel alloy is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including particle size distribution (PSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase identification, and elemental analysis (ICP-OES/AAS). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, composition, and physical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its pyrophoric nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. The container must be clearly labeled and handled with appropriate precautions to prevent moisture ingress and accidental ignition.
