Quality Control

Our 1,2-Diethyl-1,2-Cyclohexanediol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
