Quality Control

Our Vanadium (IV) Chloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay results, and impurity limits is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong acids, organic solvents, and incompatible materials.
