Quality Control

Our Sodium Hydroxytetradecane Sulfonate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, active matter content, and performance characteristics. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the original container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or performance variation.
