Quality Control

Our Trimethyloctylammonium Dimethyl Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and residual solvents. We support compliance with global regulatory frameworks including REACH.

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); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
