Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dimethyl-3,7-octadien-2-ol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for fragrance applications. While specific grades can be tailored, our standard material is characterized by GC analysis to confirm identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications for assay, odor profile, and key impurities is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
