Quality Control

Our Sodium Naphthalene-1-Acetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for agrochemical and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific impurities are available 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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
