Quality Control

Our Quaternium-85 is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets consistent purity and performance standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
