Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-4-tert-Butyl-1,3-Phenylenediamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results are available for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and heat sources.
