Quality Control

Our Sulfonic Acids, Alkane, Sodium Salts are manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance and meets relevant industry specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, active matter content, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may lead to caking or reduced flowability.
