Quality Control

Our 2,3-Xylenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, detailing specifications for purity, color, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive, prolonged exposure to air and light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
