Quality Control

Our Isopropoxypropanol is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Product specifications are verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
