Quality Control

Our Van Gel B is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance characteristics. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as viscosity, pH, and loss on drying. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant standards for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
