Quality Control

Our Bis[Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium] (2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Orthoborate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets the high-purity standards required for industrial and specialty chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and handling properties. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
