Quality Control

Our Iron Stearate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, metal content, and physical properties. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant industrial and regulatory standards for consistent performance.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect flow properties and performance.
