Quality Control

Our 2-Ethyl-6-Methyl-1,3-Oxathiane is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for flavor and fragrance applications. We adhere to relevant industry guidelines, including those from the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA), where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
