Quality Control

Our Bis(2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-3,5-Heptanedionato)Magnesium Dihydrate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the exacting standards required for electronic and catalytic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
