Quality Control

Our 2-Octadecylfumaric Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) that document key parameters such as assay, melting point, and impurity profiles. Specifications can be aligned with customer requirements for research or industrial use.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and bases.
