Quality Control

Our 2-Propyl-1-Octene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling, to meet exacting customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and physical properties is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as an olefin that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
