Quality Control

Our Sodium Phenoxyacetate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for review and provide traceability and assurance for your processes.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling.
