Quality Control

Our Aluminiumsorbate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for identity, purity, and heavy metal content to ensure it meets relevant standards for food, pharmaceutical, or industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing specifications such as assay, loss on drying, and microbial limits. We can support compliance with standards including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex), where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
