Quality Control

Our sodium metal is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and consistent quality. We adhere to rigorous internal quality control protocols. While specific grades (e.g., reagent, technical) are available, all products are characterized to confirm identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters is provided with each shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive and hygroscopic nature, sodium must be stored under an inert, anhydrous atmosphere such as argon or mineral oil, completely isolated from air and moisture. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials like water, acids, and halogens. The storage temperature should be maintained as recommended for the specific form and packaging.
