Quality Control

Our Nickel(II) Phthalocyanine-Tetrasulfonic Acid Tetrasodium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, color strength, and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, sulfonation degree, and metal content are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance.
