Quality Control

Our 3,6-Dimethyl-1,2,4-Benzenetriol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and IR for identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is available for every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
