Quality Control

Our 4-Methyl-2-Naphthol is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances, to meet exacting customer requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

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 light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
