Quality Control

Our Furfuryl Pentanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your project requirements.

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 compound is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen or argon) is recommended to preserve stability and purity.
