Quality Control

Our Sodium Decylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
