Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-(2-Hexadecyloxyethoxy)Ethyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is tested against rigorous in-house specifications to ensure high purity, consistent performance, and reliable supply. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and sulfate content are provided with each shipment.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
