Quality Control

Our Sorbic Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and conformance to agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
