Quality Control

Our Vanadium Hydride is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through analysis of key parameters including phase composition, hydrogen content, and metallic impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
