Quality Control

Our 2,4-Bis(4-Hydroxybenzyl)Phenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
