Quality Control

Our 2-(Isopropyl)-5-Methylcyclohexyl 2-Methylbutyrate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, odor profile, and compliance with industry standards for fragrance and flavor ingredients. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, optical rotation, and refractive index are available upon request.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality, especially after opening.
