## A Comprehensive Quality Control Journey
Raw Material Inspection
The quality control process starts at the very beginning, with a thorough inspection of raw materials. Whether it’s a natural or synthetic colorant, each component is meticulously examined for purity, consistency, and adherence to specifications.
Precision Formulation
Our color formulations are a result of careful precision. The right blend of ingredients is crucial not only for achieving the desired hue but also for ensuring stability and safety. Our formulation process is guided by a commitment to excellence at every step.
Stringent Production Checks
During production, real-time checks and monitoring mechanisms are in place to guarantee that the colors being manufactured align with our high-quality standards. Any deviations are addressed promptly to maintain consistency.
Testing Protocols
Once the colors are produced, they undergo a battery of tests. These include tests for purity, solubility, stability, and other critical parameters like heavy metals for human safety by using sophisticated instruments e.g.
- a) Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometry (ICP-OES);
- b) High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC);
- c) Ion Chromatography (IC)
- d) Gas Chromatography (GC)
Our testing protocols are designed to identify any issues that may compromise the quality of the end product.
Compliance Assurance
As a manufacturer catering to the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and personal care industries, compliance with regulatory standards is non-negotiable. Our quality control process includes rigorous checks to ensure that our colors consistently meet and exceed the requirements set by the FDA.
