Quality Control

Our Di(2-Hydroxyethyl)Benzylundecylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect quality.
