Quality Control

Our Neodymium Neodecanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed for critical parameters including neodymium content, acidity, and solvent residues. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and heavy metal limits is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
