Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-1-Nonene is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to verify identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific gravity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
