Quality Control

Our production of 2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, 6-Hydroxyhexyl Ester adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, with key parameters verified via GC, HPLC, and titration methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability and to minimize polymerization risk. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
