Quality Control

Our Nickel Chloride is produced and handled under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis, to meet exacting customer and industry specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee transparency and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
