Quality Control

Our Butyl Metaborate is produced under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and specifications can be customized to meet specific customer requirements for research or industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and prevent volatilization loss.
