Quality Control

Our 4,4'-(1,2-Ethenediyl)Bis-Benzenemethanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance in regulated applications.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
