Quality Control

Our Aluminum Lactate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets relevant specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content, referencing standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and pharmaceutical-grade requirements where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 each use to prevent caking and degradation.
