Quality Control

Our 4-Benzyl-2,6-Dichlorophenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
