Quality Control

Our Magnesium Naphthenate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. We provide comprehensive quality assurance, including analysis of metal content, viscosity, and solvent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality management systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere when not in use and to minimize exposure to air. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
