Quality Control

Our Graphite Bisulfate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests, including assessment of sulfate content, degree of intercalation, electrical conductivity, and residual acidity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee the material meets 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 place with minimal exposure to humidity. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
