Quality Control

Our Aluminium Chloride Oxide is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include assay, chloride content, and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results is provided with each 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 after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
