Quality Control

Our sodium metal is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and consistent reactivity. Quality is verified through a battery of analytical tests, including assay by titration and analysis of key metallic impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical form, and safety data is provided with every shipment to ensure compliance with your specific process requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive nature, sodium must be stored under an inert atmosphere such as argon or mineral oil to prevent oxidation and reaction with moisture. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from water, acids, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
