Quality Control

Our Octadecanoic Acid, Compd. With n-Butyl-1-Butanamine (1:1) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet our high standards. While produced to industrial grade specifications, we can discuss custom purity requirements. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters is provided with every shipment.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
