Quality Control

Our Nickel(II) Fumarate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as nickel content, heavy metal impurities, and loss on drying are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific results is provided with every 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
