Quality Control

Our Butanedioic Acid, Monoammonium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for identity, purity, and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying are available upon request. We can supply material compliant with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) or other relevant industry standards based on customer requirements.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which can lead to caking or degradation.
