Quality Control

Our Pigment Yellow 176 is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through comprehensive testing of key parameters including color strength, hue, particle size distribution, and rheological properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available for every shipment upon request.

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). Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to direct light should be avoided even during handling to prevent any potential color shift.
