Quality Control

Our 2-(p-tert-Butylbenzoyl)Acrylic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, detailing all critical parameters to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
