Quality Control

Our Sodium Hexafluorophosphate is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including assays for major component and critical impurity profiles (e.g., moisture, chloride, sulfate). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is supplied with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
