Quality Control

Our Calcium, Carbonate C3-13 Fatty Acids Complexes are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, acid value, moisture content, and metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these parameters are available upon request. We can tailor specifications to meet requirements for food contact, cosmetic, or industrial grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
