Quality Control

Our (2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium 5-Methylheptyl Sulphate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and identification are provided to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
