Quality Control

Our Diethylammonium Hexadecyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and identity is provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and product consistency for your critical processes.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
