Quality Control

Our Synfluid 8Cst is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot is tested against critical parameters including viscosity, flash point, pour point, and aniline point. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with industry and customer-specific requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and open flames. For long-term storage, blanket with dry nitrogen to minimize oxidation.
