How should incoming thiourea dioxide be inspected?

Direct answer

Incoming inspection comes down to sampling by batch, checking key figures against the COA and keeping a retention sample. Do not judge quality by packaging condition alone, and never assess purity by appearance.

Four steps

StepDetail
1 Document checkVerify COA, batch number and packaging markings against the order; confirm the current SDS revision
2 Appearance and packingWhite crystalline powder, no caking, no discolouration; packaging intact with no sign of moisture
3 Sampling and retentionSample by batch (mix from top, middle and bottom) and retain until after the shelf life
4 Key figure verificationRe-check active content, moisture, thiourea, ash and iron as required

Ash0.17% max
Iron (II) ion0.001% max

Storage after receipt

  • Sealed, in a cool dry warehouse, not above 25 °C
  • Away from oxidants, metal salts and alkalis; do not store with acids
  • Do not stack too high, to avoid damaged packaging and moisture ingress
  • Moisture causes yellowing and heat release; isolate any caked material

Three easily missed points

1. Do not rely on the COA alone: it is supplier data, and incoming verification is the buyer's responsibility, especially when changing supplier or when a batch looks unusual

2. Do not "test" it in hot water: hot water accelerates decomposition and is a destructive step

3. Retention samples are the basis for traceability: without one, a downstream quality problem cannot be traced back
