Quality Control

Our 2-(2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxy)Ethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results from methods such as HPLC, GC, and NMR is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical processes.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
