Quality Control

Our 3,5-Ditert-Butylbenzene-1,2-Diol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 property of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
