Quality Control

Our Pyroligneous Acid is produced and tested to ensure consistent quality and performance for industrial applications. We adhere to stringent internal quality standards and can provide material tailored to specific requirements, including food-grade specifications where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as acetic acid content, pH, and specific gravity is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of moisture and volatilization.
