Quality Control

Our Ammonium Dithiocarbamate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with agreed specifications are available for every batch upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
