Quality Control

Our production of 3-(4-Benzoyl-3-Hydroxyphenoxy)-2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
