Quality Control

Our Aluminium(Iii)Chloridefluoride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Specifications are verified through methods including titration, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and elemental analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to prevent decomposition. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong alkalis.
