Quality Control

Our Phenylpropyl Aldehyde is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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). As this material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
