Quality Control

Our 2-Propanone, 1-(1-Methylethoxy)- is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label.
