Quality Control

Our Ferric Borate is produced under a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot is analyzed against stringent internal specifications, which typically include parameters for assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these 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, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with minimal humidity fluctuation. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and separate from incompatible materials.
