Quality Control

Our Ethylene Phthalate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include identification, assay, and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical 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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product quality.
