Quality Control

Our Benzenesulfonic Acid, Dodecyl-, Branched, Potassium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, activity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and pH are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
