Quality Control

Our n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-[2-(Stearoylamino)Ethyl]Stearamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, melting point, color, and acid value 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
