Quality Control

Our Copper Chromite Barium Promoted catalyst is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent activity, selectivity, and physical properties. Key parameters such as metal composition, surface area, and particle size distribution are controlled. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of moisture and CO2 from the air, which can affect catalytic performance.
