Quality Control

Our 2-Propylacrolein is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) verification. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed and used promptly after opening. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
