Quality Control

Our Lithium Perchlorate is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including assay, impurity profiles (chloride, sulfate, heavy metals), and moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Customized purity grades, including anhydrous and trihydrate forms, are available to meet specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as combustible substances, strong reducing agents, and acids. Due to its hygroscopic nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Store at room temperature (15-25°C).
