Quality Control

Our Hypochlorite is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profiles, and stability. Production adheres to relevant industrial standards, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements, including those for technical, treated water, or high-purity grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat and incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized, optimal stability is maintained at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Prolonged storage or exposure to elevated temperatures can lead to decomposition and release of chlorine gas.
