Quality Control

Our 2-(trans-4'-n-Propyl-Cyclohexyl)Propane-1,3-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity and chemical identity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and advanced material applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, enantiomeric excess (where applicable), and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
