Quality Control

Our Zirconium(IV) Oxide, Nanopowder, Yttria Stabilized is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is characterized for critical parameters including phase composition (tetragonal/cubic), crystallite size, specific surface area (BET), and yttria content to ensure consistency for your advanced manufacturing processes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available upon request, supporting compliance with relevant industry and research standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). The original container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and particle agglomeration.
