Quality Control

Our Ethanol, 2,2'-Iminobis-, n-C12-18-Alkyl Derivs. is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as amine value, hydroxyl value, and alkyl chain distribution are monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications 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, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. Due to its chemical nature, prolonged exposure to air and light should be minimized. For long-term storage, consider using an inert gas blanket.
