Quality Control

Our 1-Chloro-3-(Pentyloxy)-2-Propanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile determination by GC/HPLC, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and other critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and volatilization.
