Quality Control

Our 1,8-Dihydroxy-p-Menth-3-En-2-One is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, GC for residual solvents, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for fine chemical and intermediate applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are sealed when not in use and stored away from heat sources and open flames. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry environment.
