Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Methylphenoxy)-2-Propanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and safety data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

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