Quality Control

Our Magnesium Boride is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including purity assay and particle size distribution checks. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its reactive nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
