Quality Control

Our Potassium Maleate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits. We are committed to supplying material that meets the high standards required for industrial and laboratory applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling.
