Quality Control

Our Guanidine Nitrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and 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 (moisture-sensitive) and strong oxidizing nature, it must be kept separate from combustible materials, reducing agents, and acids. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
