Quality Control

Our 9-Octadecenoic Acid (Z)-, Epoxidized, C7-9-Branched Alkyl Esters is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets agreed-upon specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as epoxy value, acid value, and iodine value are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
