Quality Control

Our Dicoco Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter content, amine value, pH, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with relevant standards. We support our global partners with the documentation needed for their regulatory and quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
