Quality Control

Our Lead Zirconate Titanate is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through advanced analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase purity, particle size analysis (PSA), and measurement of key piezoelectric parameters (d33, kp, εr). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
