Quality Control

Our 1,3-Cyclohexanediol, 4,6-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and isomer ratio, GC for residual solvents, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment.

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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
