Quality Control

Our Ammonium Borate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
