Quality Control

Our 2-Ethyl-2-Propyl-1,3-Propanediol is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the specifications required for advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
