Quality Control

Our technical-grade Calcium Tetrafluoroborate Hydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance for industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and impurity levels is provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and product consistency.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong alkalis.
