Quality Control

Our 10-Hydroxystearic Acid Lithium Salt is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metals. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can support compliance requirements for various application sectors.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
