Quality Control

Our Chloramine-B Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, impurity profile, and moisture content. Our quality systems are designed to support applications requiring reliable and traceable raw materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and strong oxidizer properties, the container must be kept tightly sealed and separated from reducing agents, acids, and organic materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
