Quality Control

Our Potassium Perborate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for active oxygen content, purity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided to guarantee consistent quality and supply reliability for your production processes.

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, reducing agents, and organic compounds. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Long-term storage is recommended at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
