Quality Control

Our Iron,C3-C13-Carboxylate Naphthenate Complexes are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure consistent performance, including measurement of iron content, viscosity, and solubility. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

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 easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve efficacy. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
