Quality Control

Our Ethyltris(2-Ethylhexyl)Ammonium Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, moisture content, and residual solvents is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your application requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
