Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-(Phenylmethyl)Naphthalenesulphonate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and quality assurance for your production 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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance and handling.
