Quality Control

Our Iron is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, particle size distribution (for powders), and trace metal impurities. Specifications can be tailored to meet industrial, technical, or high-purity grade requirements, including those for catalytic or electronic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, long-term storage should be under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent surface oxidation. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. For fine powders, take precautions against dust formation and ignition sources.
