Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dimethyl-1-Phenyl-1,3-Propanediol, 97% is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile determination, to ensure it meets the declared 97% minimum purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
