Quality Control

Every batch of our Water : Ethanol : Acetic Acid 6:3:1 mixture is manufactured and verified under strict quality protocols. The composition is precisely controlled using calibrated metering and mixing systems, with the final product analyzed to confirm the exact volumetric ratio and purity of each component. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the assay and physical properties is provided with each shipment to ensure it meets your application-specific requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to the highly volatile nature of the components, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and composition change. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
