Quality Control

Our Butanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for purity, identity, and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment and are available upon request. We can supply material compliant with various pharmacopeial standards (USP, EP, BP) or food-grade (FCC) specifications based on customer 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). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and sources of heat. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
