Quality Control

Our Magnesium Chlorate, Dihydrate is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include assay, identification, and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its hygroscopic and strong oxidizing nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture and stored separately from combustible, organic, or reducing materials. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
