Quality Control

Our Ti3AlC2 is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis including phase purity by X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental composition, and particle size distribution. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
