Quality Control

Our 2-Furanol is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including technical and high-purity grades, to meet diverse application needs. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
