Quality Control

Our Sodium Hypochlorite is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure consistent strength, purity, and stability. Each batch is tested against key parameters including active chlorine content, alkalinity, and heavy metal limits. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing the specific test results. Our quality management system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and municipal applications, ensuring reliable performance and supply chain integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ideal storage temperature is between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Keep containers tightly sealed to minimize decomposition and avoid contact with acids, reducing agents, and organic materials. Use corrosion-resistant storage tanks and piping suitable for hypochlorite solutions.
