Quality Control

Our 2-Chlorobenzoic Acid, Sodium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for review and are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality 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 moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
