Frequently Asked Questions:
This
section contains frequently asked questions about our products, here you will find information about color coded caps, lot
numbers, and expiration date policies.
Why are product caps taped with various colors?
The caps on all of our bottles are taped with a soft plastic PVC based tape. This creates and
extra barrier to prevent product leakage and maintain product quality. This tape also helps identify some key chemical properties
about the product. These colored tapes represent the suggested storage codes for the given product; this allows our customers
to easily store our products until there are to be used.

How are
lot numbers assigned and what do they mean?

a lot number upon entering our facility, The first 3 digits are assigned to indicate the chronological
order in which the raw material is received into our facility. The last 3 digits indicate the month and year that the product
was approved for packaging.

What is your expiration date policy?
Normally our products do not require expiration or retest dates on the label due to their inherent
stability. These products can generally be considered stable for at least five (5) years from the date of release in their
original, unopened container.
Expiration and retest dates are valid only under the storage and handling conditions
noted on the label. Generally, products should be stored and handled under the conditions noted on the label and should not
be exposed to temperature or humidity extremes. Once the product container is opened, the shelf-life of the product is dependent
on how the product is stored and handled.
If you question the quality of a product that carries no expiration date,
a product that exceeds its retest date or one where the container has been previously opened, we recommend testing the product
for fitness for use in your particular application against key parameters.
