Quality Control

Our Nitrostarch is manufactured and tested under stringent protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability for industrial applications. Quality is verified through parameters including nitrogen content, moisture level, stability, and particle size distribution. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific lot results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials. Due to its sensitivity, store separately in a dedicated, secure magazine compliant with local and international regulations for explosive materials. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
