Quality Control

Our Formic Acid, Manganese Salt is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications, including assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
