Quality Control

Our 2,4-Bis[1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)Isopropyl]Phenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity and performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
