Quality Control

Our Dodecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Cyclopentanecarboxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and microbiological efficacy is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
