Quality Control

Our 6-(Isopropyl)-3-Methylcyclohex-2-En-1-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including GC, HPLC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment, and we support compliance with global regulatory frameworks such as REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
