Quality Control

Our 3-(Diethylamino)-1,2-Propanediol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for demanding industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
