Quality Control

Our Cadmium Naphthenate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is analyzed for key parameters including cadmium content, viscosity, and solvent concentration. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation and moisture absorption.
