Quality Control

Our Zirconium Basic Carbonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets high-purity standards suitable for industrial and technical applications. Key parameters such as zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) content, impurity levels (e.g., Fe, Ti, Si), and loss on ignition are controlled. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee specification compliance.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, which can alter the product's properties.
